Play it safe
While she's miles above you
Struggling to make the ends meet
When did failure become an option
She's trying to make
The sense of things
But now your voice
Just feels so distant
Why did i keep on insisting
Things weren't as real
As i played them out to be
She read books
And i read comics
I'm making fast food
And she's in college
And I'll stay at home
While you go out with your friends
This isn't how i pictured it would be
Before growing up
Scared the hell out of me
And it scared the hell out of me
She's growing bored
Of the things she's used to
Repeating words
To take the edge off
When did comfort
Become so unusual
I see my reflection in your eyes
And it's telling me
That i fucked it all up
When i kept saying
That things weren't as real
As i played them out to be
I just feel so stupid sometimes
And yeah sometimes
It's hard trying to be
What people want you to be
And sometimes
It's harder to be yourself
When she's full of so much doubt
She read books
And i read comics
I'm making fast food
And she's in college
And i'll stay at home
While you go out with your friends
This isn't how i pictured it would be
Before growing up
Scared the hell out of me
And it scared the hell out of me
She read books
And i read comics
I'm making fast food
And she's in college
And i'll stay at home
While you go out with your friends
Yeah, i'll stay at home
While you go out with your friends
She read books
And i read comics
She can do better than you
I'm making fast food
And she's in college
She can do better than you
This isn't how i pictured it would be
Before growing up
Scared the hell out of me
And it scared the hell out of me
