parallel universe by Lauren Spencer Smith is about a past relationship. Lauren captures this by thinking of a parallel universe that is perfect. But it still won’t make up for everything that person did.
[Verse 1]
Feelings and pictures are packed up in boxes
Open them up and I kinda get nauseous
There's no confusion about where the fault is
And I wouldn't go back in time
[Pre-Chorus]
But sometimes at night
I close my eyes
[Chorus]
And there is a version of us in a parallel universe
I'm still in love and you never would do the worst
Thing to a person the world's ever seen
But that guy isn't you and that girl isn't me
And I'm tired of thinking someday we could be who we were at first
In a parallel universe
[Verse 2]
Six months ago, I was in our apartment
Still haven't got my half of the deposit
You took a hammer to all that I wanted
And you'll never make it alright
[Chorus]
But there is a version of us in a parallel universe
I'm still in love and you never would do the worst
Thing to a person the world's ever seen
But that guy isn't you and that girl isn't me
And I'm tired of thinking someday we could be who we were at first
In a parallel universe
[Bridge]
Where you never cheated and you never lied
You kept a promise like one fuckin' time
You're still the person who ruined my life
But somewhere in the back of my mind
[Chorus]
There is a version of us in a parallel universe
I'm still in love and you never would do the worst
Thing to a person the world's ever seen
But that guy isn't you and that girl isn't me
And I'm tired of thinking someday we could be who we were at first
