For a phone call.
For a night out together.
For all of these things that are never going to happen.

When you lead a girl on, you trick her into giving you attention.
You fool her into wanting to talk to you, into wanting to be with you and only you.
When you lead a girl on, you ruin her chances of finding love.

Since she doesnt want to ruin what shethinksshe has with you, she never looks at any other guys.
She doesnt flirt with them at bars or answer their late night texts.
She saves herself for you, because she doesnt realize you havent been doing the same for her.

When you lead a girl on, you turn her self-conscious.
You make her wonder why you arent there when she needs you.
Why youve been acting so distant today when you were so touchy yesterday.

When you lead a girl on, you feed her false hope.
You make her daydream about what its going to be like to hold you in her arms.
When you lead a girl on, youre lying to her.
Youre telling her that something is going to happen between the two of you.
That its only a matter of time until you switch from being friends to being boyfriend and girlfriend.
When you lead a girl on, you waste her time.
Time that she could have been spending on other people.
When you lead a girl on, you break her heart.
You take the high hopes she had for your relationship and squash them into pieces.
You turn into another one of her disappointments.
When you lead a girl on, youre being a coward.
Youre worried shell stop giving you all her attention.
When you lead a girl on, youre basically saying that you dont believe she deserves the truth.
Youre basically saying that you think she deserves to be used for your own selfish agenda.
Youre saying that she doesnt deserve the love shes been looking for.
That she deserves to be strung along by someone like you instead.
Youre letting her know that you are just another one of her mistakes.
