Nice Guy

When I came over
Flinching as she moved closer
I held my breath trying to hold her

Not having learned to lie
Still got lost in her eyes
We promised never to let go that night

You said
Let's take this slow
We're still to young to know
If this is all that we dreamed of, the perfect time
I said
I told you so
We should've never let this go
Because the magic fades once you're past that age

A hopeless romantic
Receiving only static
Ten years and counting, still recounting all those corny movie scenes

I must have been dreaming
Woke up to see you leaving
A kiss goodbye kept me believing

You said
Let's take this slow
We're still too young to know
If this is all that we dreamed of, the perfect time
I said
I told you so
We should've never let this go
Because the magic fades once you're past that age

Maybe one day you'll find yourself lonely
And maybe one day I will not be too late
To tell you that I'd gladly trade all of my futures for you
Not knowing if that's true

I bet you don't know what you're looking for
The perfect time and place to embrace the facts
We'll never get this back
You'll never get me back

I said I told you so
I've learned to let this go
