The Idea Of You

Both my parents knew you weren't the one
 And yeah, we tried our best to prove 'em wrong
 But I think that they were right
 We were two kids in this life just havin' fun
 Why'd it take ten months to see it clear?
 If I'd saw it comin', I would've disappeared
 I'm just thinkin' to myself, thought our path led somewhere else
 But now we're here
 If it's perfect on paper, then why do I feel like?
 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
 Even harder to say, harder to say
 So hard to say, it's so hard to say
 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 takin' you with me, it's a start
 If it's perfect on paper, then why do I feel like?
 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
 Even harder to say, harder to say
 So hard to say, it's so hard to say
