lyrics

I never really thought that you were the one
everything you told me made it clear enough
said you wanted kids, like I wasn't one
but I would've done a lot to keep your love
so handsome, like a dream
while you tell me to go back to sleep
didn't really want to indulge my qualms
but I knew that you were not the one

except other men don't look as good
don't talk as good as you
every other man doesn't feel the same
nobody compares to you, so

get out of my head
it's time to get out of my head
what the hell am I supposed to do?
where will I get my closure?
how can I stop wanting you?
this madness needs to be over
(I really wish you were the one)

I appreciate you saying that it's not my fault
not unlovable just not what you want
I'll take it, I have to, there's nothing I can do
but I only want love from you
you never felt real, like a model
like someone I should never get to handle
I still think about your saliva on my tongue
and your chest hair underneath my palms

which is why other men don't look as good
don't talk as good as you
every other man doesn't feel the same
nobody compares to you, so

get out of my head
it's time to get out of my head
what the hell am I supposed to do?
where will I get my closure?
how can I stop wanting you?
this madness needs to be over

(really wish you were the one
really wish you were the one
really, really, really wish you were the one
really wish you were the one
really wish you were the one
but no such luck, no such luck
really, really, really wish you were the one)

I never really thought that you were the one
knew it and I still fell headfirst into love
stupid little heart, always fucking up
but you listened, and that was enough
