Soft Spot

[Verse 1]
I’m living life, I’m feeling good, I’m doing better
I found a guy, I think he’s the one
I wanna keep him forever
And it’s kinda nice, I don’t have to try
To make him like me ‘cause he just does
And sometimes I forget about you and how it once was
I see you there and I wanna make it stop
But I can’t ‘cause you were my first love
And no one forgets about that
I know even when I’m old
I’ll still be telling stories about you
And how you left and how I grew
Every time your name comes up
It’ll always take me back to

[Chorus]
High school lovers, I loved you three summers
I never really had you but would’ve been glad to
You were the best way to fall apart
You’ll always have a place in my heart
I’m happier than ever but I’ll always remember
That crooked little smile and you laughing like a child
I just hope you’re somewhere happy too
‘Cause I’ll always have a soft spot for you

[Verse 2]
Just to be clear, I don’t want you back
I don’t even miss you
I’m just glad I can think fondly
Of the time I spent with you
I still look through our photos
We had our fun
We threw pennies in fountains
And wished on stars
All those wishes led me to him
I hope yours came true
Wherever you are

[Verse 3]
Maybe you look at the sky
And think of that October night in my car
We saw a face in the moon
I said it looked like you
And you pretended to be so mad
Sometimes I look at the clouds
And wonder what you’re doing now
‘Cause you said clouds are like paintings
No one sees the same thing
So when I’m asked what shape I see
It always takes me back to

[Chorus]
High school lovers, I loved you three summers
I never really had you but would’ve been glad to
You were the best way to fall apart
You’ll always have a place in my heart
I’m happier than ever but I’ll always remember
That crooked little smile and you laughing like a child
I just hope you’re somewhere happy too
‘Cause I’ll always have a soft spot for you
Oh, oh

[Bridge]
If you’re out there
I don’t need to know where
I just hope you’ve built the life
You talked about playing truth or dare
You always picked truth
‘Cause you loved planning out your future
You saw yourself with three kids and a wife
Well, I hope you found her
I imagine
What would maybe happen
If years down the road, I’m in a crowd, and hear you laughing
Would you remember me and want to make up for lost time?
Or would I finally find my peace and leave the past behind?
You just weren't meant to be mine
I hope you think of me sometimes
And I hope when you look back
I made your feel of highlights
When you think of

[Chorus]
High school lovers, I loved you three summers
I never really had you but would’ve been glad to
You were the best way to fall apart
You’ll always have a place in my heart
I’m happier than ever but I’ll always remember
That crooked little smile and you laughing like a child
I just hope you’re somewhere happy too
‘Cause I’ll always have a soft spot for you

[Outro]
I hope you’re happier, I really do
And I hope you have a soft spot for me too
