lyrics

Try to teach my myself to be alone but not lonely
Who to trust, honey I am the only one for you there
‘Cause it's a long, long drive through Wyoming
And I'm waiting for the moment that my phone rings
That might be ages from now
That might be pages from now

You've got this babe
It wasn't your time
You've had the love some only dream of in your life
You know the grass is always greener
I've seen happy people meaner
Because love's an awful project that gets in the way

And I just called this guy I used to see in Brooklyn
‘Cause I was curious the direction that he's lookin’ in
If he'll be marrying that chick who's tryna wife him
But it doesn't matter anymore
Yea well he answered but he was hiking in New York
I want attention, so it wasn’t gonna work
Wanted to get a rise out of him
Wanted to see some life out of him
All i got was lies out of him

You've got this babe
It wasn't your time
You've had the love some only dream of in your life
You know the grass is always greener
I've seen happy people meaner
Because love's an awful project that gets in the way

i need to amend my comprehension of the order of things
What comes first? How to make it work? Are these the only things?
i need to find some peace within all this uncertainty
I need to find some other meaning so I can keep my dreams

You've got this babe
It wasn't your time
You've had the love some only dream of in your life
You know the grass is always greener
I've seen happy people meaner
Because love's an awful project that gets in the way
