More Realistic

I haven't been in love for days
The calendar, the diary says
That I've been counting days for far too long
And in the springtime love will grow
From sunshine melting all the snow
To warm up everyday that you're away
And second chances come and go
And love songs on the radio
Tell tragic tales of loss and bitter lives
But you said something that I recall
That "I'll see in no time at all
That fragile hearts protect themselves to breaking point"

'Cause you always were more realistic than me
You were always more realistic than me

I haven't been in love for months
And winter takes away the sun
That I'd been hiding from to keep my cool
And lighting pictures of your face
And thinking back to all the ways
I did my best, but its not good enough
And I hibernate away inside
My duvet by the fireside
And drinking whiskey straight to keep me warm
And looking out the window to the street corner where you would park
To wait for you to drive back to my side

But you were always more realistic than me
You were always more realistic than me
You were always more realistic than me
You were always more realistic than me

And I've been trying to get back on my feet
And trying to catch up on some long lost sleep
To dream about a life I couldn't lead

I haven't been love at all
'Cause years go by but I cant recall
How you made my stomach sick with butterflies
And how I spent my days and nights
Content to watch you sleep
And I feel like I must have dreamt the whole thing up

'Cause you were always more realistic than me
At least that's how I thought that it would be
We'd stay together from age 17
Get married, have a kid, or two or three
A house between the mountains and the sea
Grow old, live ever after happily
But you were always more realistic than me
You were always more realistic than me
