The Idea Of You

Both my parents knew you weren't the one And yeah, we tried our best to prove 'em wrong But I think that they were right We were two kids in this life just havin' fun Why'd it take ten months to see it clear? If I'd saw it comin', I would've disappeared I'm just thinkin' to myself, thought our path led 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 the 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 takin' 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
