i don't know who you are
and there's no way i could ever know

but i think you'd be short like me
you'd have hair like mine
and we'd have the same ****** features
maybe even the same smile

i think you have a big heart
because i do
i think you care way too much about others
and i think we could get along great

i would love to know you and see if i'm right
but then again what if i meet you and i don't like you?
or we're nothing alike
sometimes i think it's just easier not to know
and go with my own idealized version of you

i still have a long way to go in my life
but i’ve turned out okay
i've been through heartbreak, loss, abandonment
in the first 24 hours that i was alive
i’ve learned that no one is guaranteed to stay
and that’s okay
because the people that want to see me grow and strive
will stick around to see it

i barely knew you
i barely knew the sound of your voice
or the comfort of your touch
it's not one of those things that i can explain
you just felt different from the rest of the world
you had this spark and drive that no one else did
something that precious can't be ignored

so i fell in love with you
i continue to fall in love with you
i fell in love with the light you gave me
i fell in love with the hope you gave me
and i fell in love
with the way you made me believe
