teen heartbreak

It was tragic, and magic
Sure I did it for the experience
But did I mean nothing at all to you?
Everything, yet nothing
I wanted to stay broken
Like all my friends, but I set myself free
From your loose ends
I wasn't trying to be mean
But I don't regret choosing me

Our goals and personalities will never align
But I'll pass you up
As the right person, wrong time
To save myself the pain of teen heartbreak
I just wanted you to stay
You wanted a wife, and a white Pickett fence
And I wanna live life running off the edge
I want freedom and peace
And you want me, but we can't be together

Thought it was beautiful, but it's disgusting
Possibly history's worst love story
That I can't believe I once romanticized
You were my biggest dream when I was 15
A little older and wiser, I know it's unhealthy now
But back then, I was living the life
And sure I miss it sometimes
But I can't go back for the sake of me
I need to stay away for my mental safety
You're still the biggest regret of my teen years
But I can thank you for helping me get over my fears
I wasn't trying to be mean
But I don't regret choosing me

Our goals and personalities will never align
But I'll pass you up
As the right person, wrong time
To save myself the pain of teen heartbreak
I just wanted you to stay
You wanted a wife, and a white Pickett fence
And I wanna live life running off the edge
I want freedom and peace
And you want me, but we can't be together

Why did I think it would be fun?
Why did I think that ten years down the line
We'd be under the sun watching it set
And you'd still be laying in my bed
Why's everyone always saying your name?
Different spelling, but it still sounds the same
Spelled with a C or a K
I don't want you but you make me feel so ashamed

Our goals and personalities will never align
But I'll pass you up
As the right person, wrong time
To save myself the pain of teen heartbreak
I just wanted you to stay
You wanted a wife, and a white Pickett fence
And I wanna live life running off the edge
I want freedom and peace
And you want me, but we can't be together
