I was hoping that you'd change your mind.
I was hoping that you would be mine.
I was hoping that you'd decide that I was worth it.
But in the end, I guess, I don't deserve it.
I was stuck on moments when it seemed like it could work.
Moments of you and me against the world!
But that's just how it seemed.
I was focused on forgetting that love will let you make-believe
A safety netting.
But the illusion stops, when your heart drops.
The illusion stops, when your heart drops.
What if things were different? Like if we stopped, and hit reverse?
Like what if you were honest and I levelled out my nerves?
I'd be calmer, you'd be kinder. But the view would still be the same.
The trick of love would see us through 'til one of us bailed on that game.
And the illusion stops, when your heart drops.
The illusion stops, when your heart drops.
