I forgot how much it sucks To be in love To feel the fire burning in my stomach While she feels nothing at all And I lose My ambition As I assume my rightful position As a disposable friend I've written 17 letters That her green eyes will never read Keep finding the pebbles From the beach where she let it be I'm slipping away from my conviction to stay Patient as I wait for the one And she never comes All my buddies think I'm quite the catch This late in the game But every time I think somebody likes me back She finds out I'm strange I'm not saying she's wrong I eat Pop Tarts and write songs For a living And I've written 17 letters That her green eyes will never read Keep finding the pebbles From the beach where she let it be And I'm slipping away from my conviction to stay Patient as I wait for the one And she never comes So I shipped off to Cheyenne to meet another girl in case She never comes around and I can't escape My unrequited broken heart I'm single and in love With every girl who can never be the one My meals are cheap and I can chase my dream Oh it's really not half bad To be young and free when my friends are married Till I'm solo at a movie And I've written 17 letters That only my eyes will ever read And I'm finding the pebbles From the Pop Tarts in my leather seats And I'm slipping away from my conviction to stay Patient as I wait for the one One day she'll Come Bada dum dum dum Oh Ana I fall into love with the fantasy The dream of my twenties Kissing ghosts in the Lillies Oh I'm never enough Single and in love With the one Bum buh duh day My unrequited broken heart I'm single and in love
