We could’ve been perfect
But I accidentally ruined it for you
We could be still talking
But I messed up and we’re strangers for good
Try to forget you
But your perfect self keeps turning me on (10 year old me… why… I’m so sorry)
Could’ve been perfect
But all that’s left behind is this song

Oh, rain is falling down on me and
Teardrops rolling down my cheek now

‘Cause we could’ve been, could’ve been, could’ve been perfect
Yeah we could’ve been, could’ve been, could’ve been perfect

We could’ve been perfect
Before someone turned the tables around
Thought after one summer
We’d be fine but you didn’t make a sound
‘Cause you know, we could’ve been perfect
It ain’t happening if this still goes on
We could’ve been perfect
I know you know that everything’s wrong

So, rain’s still falling down on me and
teardrops rolling down my cheek now

‘Cause we could’ve been, could’ve been, could’ve been perfect
Yeah we could’ve been, could’ve been, could’ve been perfect

We could’ve been perfect
But I accidentally ruined it for you
We could be still talking
But I messed up and we’re strangers for good

We could’ve been perfect
Yeah we could’ve been, could’ve been, could’ve been perfect

I'm living in a small town
With my friends and family
But the thing is I wanna be
More than this small town could let me be

I'm just another dreamer
Who's got a future ahead of me
But what they expect is not my intent
You know, I kinda feel a little stuck in here

I wanna climb the tallest hills, I wanna reach the stars
But I don't think I can do that right where we are
It's been too long that I've been feeling this damn confined
I think it's time

I'm free from you
I can be just who I wanna be
I'm in control now
I've escaped from your hands
I'm breaking free
Now that I've changed
Everything seems different to me
Yeah, I've escaped
And I see the world differently
I'm free from you
Yeah, I've escaped from your hands
I'm breaking free

They can call me too ambitious (they can call me too ambitious)
Too out of touch with reality (too out of touch)
But I’ll do as I please, unapologetically
Don’t need your validation to succeed

I wanna climb the tallest hills, I wanna reach the stars
But I don't think I can do that right where we are
It's been too long that I've been feeling this damn confined
I think it's time

I'm free from you
I can be just who I wanna be
I'm in control now
I've escaped from your hands
I’m breaking free
Now that I've changed
Everything seems different to me
Yeah, I've escaped
And I see the world differently
I'm free from you
Yeah, I've escaped from your hands
I'm breaking free

Yeah, I know what I want
Now you’ve got nothing on me
I’m cruising down the highway
And nobody can stop me
Oh, nothing feels better than writing my destiny for myself
Cause I know it, baby
Yeah, I’m seeing my future
And this is my true calling
I don’t care what they say
This is right where my heart is
I’ll defy all your expectations and I’ll do it without your help
So I’m telling you that

I'm free from you
I can be just who I wanna be
I'm in control now
I've escaped from your hands
I'm breaking free
Now that I've changed
Everything seems different to me
Yeah, I've escaped
And I see the world differently
I'm free from you
Yeah, I've escaped from your hands
I'm breaking free

We were so close last summer
Oh, I thought that we had it
But darling you ruined it
Burned my heart into ashes
I joked that I hate you
Maybe you thought I meant it
Nothing could heal the hurt of the words

Come on, I knew I was wrong, I'm so sorry
Just never thought that I'd fall for somebody
You can't see behind, I'm a whole damn mess
'Cause I'm usually not like this

And I open my eyes to see everything differently
I'm so crazy for you but you hardly care about me
Yeah, I open my eyes and I see that you don't see a thing in me
So watch my heart break down piece by piece

Oh, I miss the way you would take my things away
To see how I'd react, can't believe I used to hate it
Now though we're still the same class, you still see through me like glass
Oh god, I miss you so much (Oh baby)

Come on, I knew I was wrong, I'm so sorry
Just never thought that I'd fall for somebody
You can't see behind, I'm a whole damn mess
'Cause I'm usually not like this

And I open my eyes to see everything differently
I'm so crazy for you but you hardly care about me
Yeah, I open my eyes and I see that you don't see a thing in me
So watch my heart break down piece by piece

Oh, I keep dreaming 'bout how someday we'll be on a date
My love will be reciprocated, hand-in-hand, our happy days, but well
All it took was one summer holiday for you to look away from me forever
Now I just want to get out of this daze

Everything's different right now
I'm still so crazy for you
I'm still so crazy for you
So watch my heart break down piece by piece

I thought about you
been up all day and up all night
though it sounds crazy
but I just need confirmation
cause what if you still like me?
I know it's been months since you confessed
but I can't help but think there's something left

Can't believe it,
how you can't see through my thinly-veiled attempts to
hide the way I feel about you
Don't know what to
believe when you give me compliments
though it's hard to convince me they're not genuine

But what if we both fell in love?
We'll be more than friends when all's said and done
What if I'm the one you like?
Oh we'd be a pair, and it'd be so right
to take you on dates, take hold of your hand and
talk through the hours, kiss through the night
What if we both said that we liked someone else
just to talk to each other?

Liked someone else just to talk to each other
What if we both said that we liked someone else?

Oh, I go crazy when you tell me all about her
She still your baby? Thought your love went underwater
I can't take it, we can't just be friends forever
I can't let you go, I think I've lost my head

But what if we both fell in love?
We'll be more than friends when all's said and done
What if I'm the one you like?
Oh we'd be a pair, and it'd be so right
to take you on dates, take hold of your hand and
talk through the hours, kiss through the night
What if we both said that we liked someone else
just to talk to each other?

Liked someone else just to talk to each other
What if we both said that we liked someone else?

What if we both fell in love?
We'll be more than friends when all's said and done
What if I'm the one you like?
Oh we'd be a pair, and it'd be so right
to take you on dates, take hold of your hand and
talk through the hours, kiss through the night
What if we both said that we liked someone else
just to talk to each other?

What if we both fell in love?
We'll be more than friends when all's said and done
What if I'm the one you like?
Oh we'd be a pair, and it'd be so right
to take you on dates, take hold of your hand and
talk through the hours, kiss through the night
What if we both said that we liked someone else
just to talk to each other? (other - echo x5)

It’s been three months since I last saw you and I thought
we’d be able to pick up where we left off
But you greet me with indifference when we walked the hallways
And left me in the end with a broken heart

Now I’m sitting in the back of the car
wondering where it all went wrong
Cause I thought we could be something, maybe not

Cause you know I got a crush on you
And I think you had a crush on me before
But now, a huge, gigantic wall has formed
And before you know it we’re not talking anymore
Now all I want is for you to come back to me again
But we’ve got no chance at all

I’ve been hoping maybe we could fall in love again
(Maybe we could fall in love again)
But there’s no chance, yeah it’s hopeless
Now I’m coping, sitting on my bathroom floor
replaying our moments to find what went wrong
Cause now I know that you’re never gonna open up

Cause you know I got a crush on you (a crush on you)
And I think you had a crush on me before
But now, a huge, gigantic wall has formed (a huge, gigantic wall has formed)
And before you know it we’re not talking anymore (now we’re not even talking anymore)
Now all I want is for you to come back to me again
But we’ve got no chance at all

Vocoder: Cause you know I got a crush on you and I think you had a crush on me before
But now a huge, gigantic wall has formed and before you know it we’re not talking anymore (x2)

Cause you know I got a crush on you
And I think you had a crush on me before
But now, a huge, gigantic wall has formed
And before you know it we’re not talking anymore
Now all I want is for you to come back to me again
But we’ve got no chance at all

(x2)

you're in love with this boy
he calls you pretty and you're allured
but he also calls somebody else his baby
do you really want that stupid boy
who plays with girls like they're toys
and would turn that promised yes into a maybe

but he's sweet and you know you want him
but he's tough and you know you don't want him
you can't decide and you don't know
but when you don't know, when you don't know

just say no!

cause he likes you and you want him
but he'll break you and you'll hate him
and I'm not gonna be the victim
so when I don't know, just say no

cause he likes you and you want him
but he'll break you and you'll hate him
and I'm not gonna be the victim
so when I don't know...

it honestly sounds kinda fun
to fall in love with someone
except that the truth is much more complicated
oh he's gonna make you mad
let you down then get you attached
you know that he's so good at manipulating

he's so hard to read and you kinda hate it
but we're so close and I don't wanna break it
you can't decide and you don't know
but when you don't know, when you don't know

just say no!

cause he likes you and you want him
but he'll break you and you'll hate him
and I'm not gonna be the victim
so when I don't know, just say no

cause he likes you and you want him
but he'll break you and you'll hate him
and I'm not gonna be the victim
so when I don't know

just say no, just say no, just say no
but I can't let go, can't let go, can't let go
yeah I know, yeah I know, yeah I know
that it's better if I just say no
but I'm losing all my self control

cause he likes you and you want him
but he'll break you and you'll hate him
and I'm not gonna be the victim
so when I don't know, just say no

cause he likes you and you want him
but he'll break you and you'll hate him
and I'm not gonna be the victim
so when I don't know

just say no, just say no, just say no
but I can't let go, can't let go, can't let go
yeah I know, yeah I know, yeah I know
that it's better if I just say no
but I'm losing all my self control

I’m tired of this girl
she’s a great actress but I can see the
fake in everything she does
and they say that they love ya
but they go and they talk shit behind ya
but you wouldn’t even know ‘cause

the world’s a mirage I don’t wanna live in
we’re all so caught up in that fake shit we’re seeing
they’d say they loved your show, but they hate it
it’s so complicated

so baby what’s my reputation
what’s my reputation, babe?
what’s my allocation?
do I get love? do I get hate?
and I have got some serious trust issues with the world
I always think that everyone’s just lying to my face

so tell me what’s my reputation, babe
(come on tell me tell me, come on tell me tell me, tell me tell me tell me, no)
be honest with me now
(come on tell me tell me, come on tell me tell me, tell me tell me tell me, no)

it’s so unrealistic, the way everyone’s porcelain perfect
it always seems so hard to keep up
it’s becoming a habit, how we flip our facades like a record
whenever someone’s bored of us

the world’s a mirage I don’t wanna live in
we’re all so caught up in that fake shit we’re seeing
they’d say they loved your show, but they hate it
it’s so complicated

so baby what’s my reputation
what’s my reputation, babe?
what’s my allocation?
do I get love? do I get hate?
and I have got some serious trust issues with the world
I always think that everyone’s just lying to my face

so tell me what’s my reputation, babe
(come on tell me tell me, come on tell me tell me, tell me tell me tell me, no)
be honest with me now
(come on tell me tell me, come on tell me tell me, tell me tell me tell me, no)

why can’t we just be genuine?
why do we have to give a shit?
why is it so damn hard to be honest with ourselves?
sick of all these comparisons
sick of giving my everything
sick and tired of caring so much, it gives me hell

so baby what’s my reputation
what’s my reputation, babe?
what’s my allocation?
do I get love? do I get hate?
and I have got some serious trust issues with the world
I always think that everyone’s just lying to my face

so tell me what’s my reputation, babe

why?
why did my heart trust you?
you're the one who broke me
tore my heart up, threw it across the room
I'm hurt, I'm scarred
oh, love is hard (it's hard)

but baby, why?
why am I trying?
the last thing to happen on this world
is for me and you to work
but baby, why?
why am I crying?
I know that you love her, I help you
but I'm fucking myself and my mind up

you're like fire, I'm like snow
you burn bridges, I make air cold
try start a spark but we both know
we're so damn incompatible
they say opposites attract
and you know damn well I want you bad
but my heart is made of glass
and I should tell you I don't trust you with that

hi, can I tell you the truth?
I loved you for one whole year
but knowing you I'm too scared to make a move
I can't afford
rejection no more (no more)

but baby, why?
why am I trying?
the last thing to happen on this world
is for me and you to work
but baby, why?
why am I crying?
I know that you love her, I help you
but I'm fucking myself and my mind up

you're like fire, I'm like snow
you burn bridges, I make air cold
try start a spark but we both know
we're so damn incompatible
they say opposites attract
and you know damn well I want you bad
but my heart is made of glass
and I should tell you I don't trust you with that

baby I don’t trust you with that
why’d I gotta be so attached??

Let it go, take it all back
I know it hurts you but I take it all back
Hey, can we talk?

Why do I care?
Why do I love you?
Why can’t I give up
on someone who can’t make their damn mind up?
You love me like all the other girls

This heartbreaking feeling
it was burning in my head
So take back the fights and the tears that we’ve shed
take back the shit that you’ve said
Wish we’d forget it all
though it’d never be the same
Just take back the laughs and the smiles that we shared
Take back the memories we made

Damn I thought we’d be just friends
I know we can’t let go but it has to end

You leave me in tears,
it’s killing me and I don’t know what’s next
Why can’t I breathe again?
This hurts as much for me as it does for you, ooh

This heartbreaking feeling
it was burning in my head (in my head, in my head)
So take back the fights and the tears that we’ve shed (I take it back)
take back the shit that you’ve said (I take it all back)
Wish we’d forget it all
though it’d never be the same (be the same, be the same)
Just take back the laughs and the smiles that we shared (that I’m taking back)
Take back the memories we made (I take it all back)

no x6, oh, I take it all back, I take it all back, I take it all back
oh, I take it all back

Over time we’re getting colder
there’s not much more I can take
and I want to hold you like everything’s okay
Don’t you wish we could start over?
And we’d just take it away
And I want to have fun with you like there’s nobody else
But we can’t

This heartbreaking feeling
it was burning in my head (in my head, in my head)
So take back the fights and the tears that we’ve shed (I take it back)
take back the shit that you’ve said (I take it all back)
Wish we’d forget it all
though it’d never be the same (be the same, be the same)
Just take back the laughs and the smiles that we shared (that I’m taking back)
Take back the memories we made (I take it all back)

no x6, oh, I take it all back, I take it all back, I take it all back
no x6, oh, I take it all back

no, mhm, I’ll take it back
