Stare at my ceiling every night

Start to see patterns of a life with you

Try to find meaning in the light

My internal optimist shining through

So many ways, you showed me signs

Gave me confidence for a year

And all of the ways you made me smile

Before you up and disappeared

You know I wrote this song before

You sung along

And when I thought that we were more

I was wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong

Before you went and put me in the friend zone

I thought that we were something special

I was feeling sentimental

And I fell in love with our potential

In my bed I lie awake

Wishing that we could do the same

I was feeling sentimental

And I fell in love with our potential

You're giving me reasons for some hope

Why'd you always play pretend?

Got me straight up wanting more

A future where we never end

You know I wrote this song before

You sung along

And when I thought that we were more

I was wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong

Before you went and put me in the friend zone

I thought that we were something special

I was feeling sentimental

And I fell in love with our potential

In my bed I lie awake

Wishing that we could do the same

I was feeling sentimental

And I fell in love with our potential

Losing my sleep

Dreamin bout you and me

Making big plans for what I know we could be

Losing my sleep

Dreamin bout you and me

Maybe we'll fall in love

And it won't be accidental

Before you went and put me in the friend zone

I thought that we were something special

I was feeling sentimental

And I fell in love

Before you went and put me in the friend zone

I thought that we were something special

I was feeling sentimental

And I fell in love with our potential

In my bed I lie awake

Wishing that we could do the same

I was feeling sentimental

And I fell in love with our potential
