We’ve grown so fast
In a reality that’s hardly built to last
Couldn’t I still believe in something better?

I’m not the first nor the last to be awake through every night
Coming to terms with getting older

Well maybe I’m still the same in your eyes
But you should know, you’re not in mine
But living in a shell unnoticed
Has put me out of line, unfocused

Still again, we refrain, we’re afraid of nothing
Will it be unspoken?
It’s not unlike every night that I stayed home

It’s better you never said hello
I’m sure it’s easier when it’s safe enough and you’re in love
But I’m the one who’s better off
I’ve been reliving every fantasy I’ve had all this time
And you’ve been nothing but the best thing on my mind

But you know, you know you’re worth it when it’s obvious I’m alone
And now that I’m older it’s getting easier to show
But I’ve been living up the past again
It never ends in progress
And you can try to choose, but the world keeps changing around you

Better you never said hello
I’m sure it’s easier when it’s safe enough and you’re in love
But I’m the one who’s better off
I’ve been reliving every fantasy I’ve had all this time
And you’ve been nothing but the best thing on my mind

Oh, you don’t mistake attraction
No, you take what I’ve been missing

Believing every hint that I made, you noticed
You’d never even know what it takes to show it
I still can’t help but worry about
The way you make me run around

It’s better you never said hello
I’m sure it’s easier when it’s safe enough and you’re in love
But I’m the one who’s better off
I’ve been reliving every fantasy I’ve had all this time
And you’ve been nothing but the best thing on my mind
