The Idea Of You

Both my parents knew you weren’t the one

And yeah, we tried our best to prove them wrong

But I think that they were right

We were two kids in this life just having fun

Why’d it take ten months to see it clear?

If I saw it coming, I would have disappeared

I’m just thinking to myself

I thought our path lead somewhere else

But now we’re here

If it’s perfect on paper

Then why do I feel like?

I love the idea of you

More than I love you

And that's hard, so hard to hear

We checked off all the boxes

But that’s not what love is

And that's hard, it's hard to hear

Even harder to say

Harder to say

So hard to say

It’s so hard to say

I know you’re confused, I feel the same

You're still in the dark and I’m to blame

And I can’t stand to see you cry

If you don’t wanna say goodbye then look away

But someday you’ll be in another's arms

And you’ll be happy that I broke your heart

Maybe then you might forgive me

For not taking you with me, it’s a start

If it’s perfect on paper

Then why do I feel like?

I love the idea of you

More than I love you

And that's hard, so hard to hear

We checked off all the boxes

But that’s not what love is

And that's hard, it's hard to hear

Even harder to say

Harder to say

So hard to say

It’s so hard to say
