My Version of You

[Verse 1]
I probably looked at you a thousand times, I never really saw you
I had a picture of you in my mind I thought you could live up to
You drew a line between us in the sand, the tide came and washed it away
But god it felt amazing when you held my hand like you heard everything I wasn't brave enough to say
I put you on a pedestal, gave you so far to fall
I came to see that knowing you wasn't knowing you at all

[Chorus]
So can we go back to when I thought you were perfect?
I wanna believe in your mystery
'Cause you're the dream I had for so much of my life
Who will I become if I give you up?
So even if it's not true
I want another moment with my version of you

[Verse 2]
I saw you floating in a crystal sky but you were always out of my reach
How come I never stopped to wonder why it was okay you didn't need me?
Somewhere inside of me I think I know we're not the people that we were then
I watched you leave but I can't let you go
In spite of everything it doesn't feel like it's the end
My paper thin arguments don't hold weight anymore
The paths we chose will never lead to the way things were before

[Chorus]
But can we go back to when I thought you were perfect?
I wanna believe in your mystery
'Cause you're the dream I had for so much of my life
Who will I become if I give you up?
So even if it's not true
I want another moment with my version of

[Bridge]
You are a figment of my imagination
You are a being of my own creation
I wish you could exist no other way than this

[Chorus]
So can we go back to when I thought you were perfect?
I wanna believe in your mystery
'Cause you're the dream I had for so much of my life
Who will I become if I give you up?
Can we go back to when I thought you were perfect?
I wanna believe in your mystery
'Cause you're the dream I had for so much of my life
Who will I become if I give you up?
So even if it's not true
I want another moment with my version of you
