There you were
You’re gonna make a scene
comparing yourself to the person you were at age 17
I put my suit on
and I tied my tie
I look like someone I don't recognize
And it would be so much easier to love you
If you could only see yourself like me
And wouldn't it hurt much less when you were lonely
If you could only see yourself like me?
I found a letter:
“Dear future me,
I promise I’ll take care of the person we’ll both be eventually
I’ll pick up painting,
Oh! Oh – and I'll join the gym
I can't shake the feeling that I'll be happy by the time I'm him
And it would be so much easier to love you
If you could only see yourself like me
And wouldn't it hurt much less when you were lonely
If you could only see yourself like me?
Please be disappointed in me
Isn’t it obvious I wasn't who you think?
And it would be ..
So much easier to love you if you could only see yourself like me
And wouldn’t it hurt much less when you were lonely
If you could only see yourself like me?
