It's "You can't stand out while holding a boy's hand"

The girl wants to move on. She doesn't want to be stuck to the same guy although he's obviously still in love with her. If he's still seen/involved with her, no guy would want her.

"Cause I can't see further than my own nose at this moment" She wants to explore and experience what love has to offer; she's being selfish for her own sake and happiness.

She's willing to get hurt just to be in love.

I think georgiad is right, it is "you can't stay a girl while holding a boy's hand." The point is that love eventually leads to heartbreak and loss of innocence.
