Got My Hopes Up

You wish I was a part of their crew

So you wouldn't be embarrassed when I came up to talk to you

You wish that I was cool

But you're not allowed to like someone who's not into tools

Well, I'm not changing

That sounds like a job that's for you

Maybe you should find a new group

Baby, you got my hopes up

Only to tear them back down

Oh, I should've seen it coming

Should've known you wouldn't stick around

And you want to forget about us

So it's not a problem when I ask you all about trust

And you make it seem like a joke

Oh, but I know you don't want to introduce me to your folks

But I know how it goes

I'm a nerd, and that's a sin

To admit your illegal feelings

But I'll get over it

'Cause to you, I'm just another kid

Another memory that you'll never miss

Well, baby, you got my hopes up

Only to tear them back down

Oh, I should've seen it coming

Should've known you wouldn't stick around

Baby, you got my hopes up

Made me believe I was strong

Girl, you let me fall so far

Couldn't see that I was wrong

Maybe there's one day where it won't matter how I look

A world where you don't have to love someone just by the book

And I'll break free from all that you see

I'll be a changed man

But when you look deep, you'll see that I'm still the same thing

The same thing

Baby, you got my hopes up

Only to tear them back down

Oh, I should've seen it coming

Should've known you wouldn't stick around

Well, baby, you got my hopes up

Made me believe I was strong

Girl, you let me fall so far

Couldn't see that I was wrong

Baby, you got my hopes up
