i can never see your face inside my head
i see your eyes instead
and when your nights are cool
i wish the summer wouldn't end
youre more than just another friend
and this might never work out
but its alright
never feel like getting hurt
what a beautiful way to hurt
youre so far out of my league
i cant see why youre here with me
pretend that you don't have to leave
i havent slept in days
and you ask me do i really care
ill sit you down and count the ways
theres a fired clock
above your sweet little head
the winter might just leave me dead
this might never work out
but its alright to feel like getting hurt
what a beautiful way to hurt
youre so far out of my league
i cant see why youre here with me
pretend that you don't have to leave
i can never see your face inside my head
i see your eyes instead
and when your nights are cool
i wish the summer wouldnt end
youre more than just another friend
this might never work out
but its alright
to feel like getting hurt
what a beautiful way to hurt
youre so far out of my league
i cant see why youre here with me
pretend that you dont have to leave
