The Idea of You

[Verse 1]
Both my parents knew you weren't the one
And yeah, we tried our best to prove them wrong
But I think that they were right
We were two kids in this life just having fun
Why'd it take ten months to see it clear?
If I'd saw it coming, I would have disappeared
I'm just thinking to myself, thought our path led somewhere else
But now we're here

[Pre-Chorus]
If it's perfect on paper
Then why do I feel like?

[Chorus]
I love the idea of you more than I love you
And that's hard, so hard to hear
We checked off all the boxes
But that's not what love is
And that's hard, it's hard to hear

[Post-Chorus]
Even harder to say, harder to say
So hard to say, it's so hard to say

[Verse 2]
I know you're confused, I feel the same
You're still in the dark and I'm the blame
And I can't stand to see you cry
If you don't wanna say goodbye then look away
But someday you'll be in another's arms
And you'll be happy that I broke your heart
Maybe then you might forgive me
For not taking you with me, it's a start

[Pre-Chorus]
If it's perfect on paper
Then why do I feel like?

[Chorus]
I love the idea of you more than I love you
And that's hard, so hard to hear
We checked off all the boxes
But that's not what love is
And that's hard, it's hard to hear

[Post-Chorus]
Even harder to say, harder to say
So hard to say, it's so hard to say
