"Realistic Love Song" lyrics
I don't need to romanticize you
I don't want the password to your phone
I trust that when you say, you're out with friends
You are, and I'll leave it alone
No version of you in my head could be better
Than the one that I know
Used to building people up in my mind
For them to let me down, but I'm letting that go
You can have your interests and you'll be one of mine
But don't feel like you have to fill up all my time
You're not my remedy
Gateway to co-dependency
You can be you
I'll let that shit be
I'm writing realistic love songs, what'd you do to me?
What'd you do to me?
We can live in some crappy apartment
Or be a fucking billionaire
As long as I'm figuring out
How to float on this rock where we are, I don't care
You don't fix all of my problems
Actually, sometimes you cause me more
You're the first person I wanna live in the gray with
You're the first person worth fighting for
I can have my issues and sometimes I'll be yours
You'll always give me space and that just makes me want you more
You're not my remedy
Gateway to co-dependency
You can be you
I'll let that shit be
I'm writing realistic love songs, what'd you do to me?
What'd you do to me?
I'm not an optimist and people know that too
I'm just a pessimist, who sees the best in you
But I'm an artist, so I hardly speak the truth
But I've been writing realistic love songs about you
You're not my remedy
Gateway to co-dependency
You can be you
I'll let that shit be
I'm writing realistic love songs about you and me
What'd you do to me?
I don't need to romanticize you
I don't want the password to your phone
I trust that when you say, you're out with friends
You are, and I'll leave it alone
No version of you in my head could be better
Than the one that I know
Used to building people up in my mind
For them to let me down, but I'm letting that go
You can have your interests and you'll be one of mine
But don't feel like you have to fill up all my time
You're not my remedy
Gateway to co-dependency
You can be you
I'll let that shit be
I'm writing realistic love songs, what'd you do to me?
What'd you do to me?
We can live in some crappy apartment
Or be a fucking billionaire
As long as I'm figuring out
How to float on this rock where we are, I don't care
You don't fix all of my problems
Actually, sometimes you cause me more
You're the first person I wanna live in the gray with
You're the first person worth fighting for
I can have my issues and sometimes I'll be yours
You'll always give me space and that just makes me want you more
You're not my remedy
Gateway to co-dependency
You can be you
I'll let that shit be
I'm writing realistic love songs, what'd you do to me?
What'd you do to me?
I'm not an optimist and people know that too
I'm just a pessimist, who sees the best in you
But I'm an artist, so I hardly speak the truth
But I've been writing realistic love songs about you
You're not my remedy
Gateway to co-dependency
You can be you
I'll let that shit be
I'm writing realistic love songs about you and me
What'd you do to me?
I don't need to romanticize you
