lyrics

There’s nothing wrong with being pessimistic sometimes
but I can’t feel this way for all of my life
there’s nothing wrong with running away
but if I find something worth staying for
I hope I’ll stay
and I’ll stay
if that’s okay with you

It’s probably a bad idea to go jumping in the deep end
but here I am and I’m in the deep end
so I’ll hold my breath ‘til I sink or swim
I might end up broken but I think it’s worth the risk

I said I’d never write a love song
but singing sad songs all the time is kind of exhausting
so I guess this is a love song
cherish it cuz it doesn’t happen often

I’ve spent the last few months alone but not lonely
I don’t need anyone to make me happy
I thought my crushes would keep me warm throught the winter
if it gets too cold I’ve got blankets and a sweater
but you warm me from the inside, yes you do
so I’ll stay
until I’ve seen this through

If there’s one thing that I’ve found, traveling around
It’s that all cities are beautiful, it just depends on who you know
and I’ve made a million friends
but there’s noone like you anywhere else that I’ve been
I’m scared and I don’t know what to do
but I’ll stay
until I’ve seen this through

I said I’d never write a love song
but singing sad songs all the time is kind of exhausting
so I guess this is a love song
cherish it cuz it doesn’t happen often
cherish it cuz it doesn’t happen often
and I’ll cherish you cuz I don’t feel this way often
