She made you a playlist with 70 songs
Talked to you on the phone all night long
She laughs and screenshots the jokes you send
Same ones that offended your other girlfriends
There's nothing quite like this sweet chemistry
That makes you say, "I've found the one for me."

Well baby, where does that leave me?
Staring straight at the truth I've refused to see.
I wouldn't hesitate to take a bullet for you
I'd stand by your side no matter what you do
I'd serve my heart to you on a silver plate
But why would you want it when you have your soul mate?

You're out of my reach and now that I know
I've got to at least decide to let you go
You were never mine from the very start
Can I cut you from my head, if not my heart?
But even as I see it's the only thing to do
I'll miss the pain of holding on to you.

I'll miss falling asleep with a smile on my face
As I think about you in your faraway place
I'll miss dreaming of an ending with you and me
Now that I know it could never be
I'll miss picking songs that remind me of you
Each bittersweet memory you've put me through

I'll miss feeling beautiful when you're by my side
Getting to shut off everyone on the outside
I'll miss the delicious agony of counting down the days
Knowing just when I'll see that smile on your face
I'll miss writing you poems and letters you'll never read
Cause there's no point giving you the love you don't need.

But the worst part of letting go of you
Is killing the hope that my deepest dreams may come true.
