Love & Superlatives

[Verse 1]
It felt way too right, I knew there had to be a decline
You promised we’d fight the bad guys and get each other through the bad times
You told me that there’s not any need for all the shiny things
You just needed me and not the fame and all it brings
The more you believe, oh, the more it stings

[Chorus]
I had high hopes and I should’ve been more cynical
I had high hopes, I believed in unconditional
By why do I keep giving all that I have if
There’s only love and all its superlatives
I thought you were the one
Or am I really just that hard to love

[Verse 2]
I write and I write to make sure I’m alive
But the ink’s running out, it’ll number my hours
I’ll publish our story, it’ll fly off the shelves
It’s a fiction bestseller based on real life that failed

[Pre-Chorus]
You said there was no need for all the shiny things
You just needed me and not the fame and all it brings
The more you believe, oh, the more it stings

[Chorus]
I had high hopes and I should’ve been more cynical
I had high hopes I believed in unconditional
By why do I keep giving all that I have if
There’s only love and all it’s superlatives
I had high hopes and I should’ve been more cynical
I had high hopes I believed in unconditional
By why do I keep giving all that I have if
There’s only love and all it’s superlatives

[Outro]
I thought you were the one
