They're kind and they're careful, they show up but not all the way
They're sweet and they're there for a while till the title should change
They love to talk till the morning
Say things that feel so important
You're quickly reminded they're never a person who stays

It's okay
But I don't wanna be wanted that way

I'm done holding on to boys who don't say what they want
Like it's wrong to feel something and tell them
I'm done finding someone who won't ever try hard enough
The boys who don't know what they want

(Mm)
(Mm)

They ask you your birthday like they won't be strangers by then (mm, ah-oh)
They make just enough space in their life for you to barely fit (mm)
They love to hold your attention
Show you their only intentions
They feel like they're yours for a while, but they all end the same

It's okay
But I don't wanna be wanted that way

I'm done holding on to boys who don't say what they want
Like it's wrong to feel something and tell them
I'm done finding someone who won't ever try hard enough (mm)
The boys who don't know what they want

Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm, mm-mm

I'm done holding on to boys who play boyfriends for fun
Then it's gone 'cause nothing really happened
I'm done finding someone who won't ever try hard enough (mm)
The boys who don't know what they want, mm
The boys who don't know what they want
The boys who don't know what they want
