I walked into the boutique
he was standing there and i swear i saw his face someplace before
it was this time last week
i realized just as soon i stepped in the door
I pretended to be interested in some shoes cuz if not i thought he'd start to wonder
as i left him i did something that i never do
well i asked him on a whim for his number
gave him a call the first day after
one of those awkward phone conversations
full pauses, lots of laughter
got stoked on his music, inspiration
planned to meet that week at Robson square,
showed up late oops ten passed nine
lucky for me he still was there
we blazed the joint to pass the time
we started to feel
this beat this beat
this brilliant beat
pounding in my head my chest my knees my feet
shoulda seen it coming right from the start
the beatboxer who broke my heart
so we continued walking down Robson street
and as we keep talking i kept feeling the beat
all of a sudden boom we overflow with conversation
just beginning to really enjoy the situation
as I watched his lips move
with such precision and agility
there was no room to improve
Upon this boy's beatboxing ability
after a couple weeks of chilling
in a similar way
this certain boy starts filling
all my thought through the day
well i was overwhelmed by this boy
Amazed and enchanted
with just one look i was his toy
and boy did he ever take me for granted
I started to feel
this beat this beat this brilliant beat
pounding in my head my chest my knees my feet
shoulda seen it coming right from the start
the beatboxer who broke my heart
so as the week goes he started acting weird
and my heart doesn't want to doubt him
in my head it was the feeling i had always feared
he said there's something i should know about him
i said i don't care what he's done in the past
you know we've all got our dirty secrets
i said this is really something i want to last
but when he looked at me my world turned beatless
he said:
"listen miss i'm really feeling your kiss
but still a million would give their opinion of this
but lets be honest you were just another chick on my list
and if my misses heard about this
shit she would be pissed"
I couldn't even think of what to say
a million broken beats drove right through me
i took a breath, another one and simply walked away
not even believing a boy can do this to me
i walked home soaked in regret
the rain turned to hail then snow then sleet
i did my best trying to forget
what was left of
the beat the beat the brilliant beat
pounding in my head my chest my knees my feet
i shoulda seen it coming right from the start
the beatboxer who broke my heart.
the beat the beat the brilliant beat
pounding in my head my chest my knees my feet
i shoulda seen it coming right from the start
the beatboxer who broke my.......
the beat the beat the beat the beat the beat the beat the beat the beat the beat the beat the beat the beat the beat the beat the beat the beat
the beat the beat the beat the beat
I should have seen it coming right from the very start
the beatboxer came and he broke my heart
