"The Song" lyrics

"The Song"

My thing is I haven't gotten over like one thing
Since I was 17 with a stoner and his nose ring
And I'm older now, but I still don't really know things
Wish I could know things
Like how to see that everyone is not poetry
'Cause I wrote you all these fucking songs
And you broke up with me

I thought that we were forever and ever, I guess I was wrong
Time to grow up, you were the one and now you're not
It feels like forever and ever and ever I've been holding on
Give me a minute, turned into months
So I'm gonna fall out of love by the end of the song

My thing is I'm still obsessed with the idea of this one thing
With all the ways that it wasn't but it might've been
I could reach out, but it's your turn, and it's your shit
And I should call it
So I've been trying peace and love and telling the truth
But I got drunk, told everyone that I broke up with you

I thought that we were forever and ever, I guess I was wrong
Time to grow up, you were the one and now you're not
It feels like forever and ever and ever I've been holding on
Give me a minute, turned into months
So I'm gonna fall out of love by the end of the song

I could be happy and look at your pictures and not want to throw up
By the end of the song
I could do parties and not wanna die at the moment you show up
By the end of the song
I could be literally perfect, like actually literally perfect
By the end of the song
You're gonna want me the minute I don't, at the end of the song

I thought that we were forever and ever, I guess I was wrong
Time to grow up, you were the one and now you're not
It feels like forever and ever and ever I've been holding on
Give me a minute, turned into months
I was obsessed, but I was young
You were my whole life once
Now I'm gonna fall out of love by the end of the song
