Best Case Love
I gave you
Enough space
To make the universe blush
To make a particle erupt
And I gave you
Enough time
To watch an empire fall
And you'll say it's all my fault
But I look through all the pictures
I read through all the texts
And I play back conversations
Over and over again
And I look at what I prayed for
Look at all that I've become
I'm a pretty hopeless person
And I don't ask for much
But I hope that you're my best case love
And my life gets tough
I hope I try to find another
And it's just not enough
I hope I try to start over
I try to find somebody new
I hope she's drunk inside the house
I hope she's rude to my mom
I hope she finds somebody else
Once all my money is gone
Hope when I try to start over
I'm met with the cold hard truth
That my best case love was you
And you gave me
Enough verses
To make a poet lose his mind
There's not a rhythm or a rhyme
You did everything just fine
You gave me
Enough excuses
To think it's nothing like before
That I should've done more
I tried to grow but all I see
Are torn up letters on the floor
I look through all the pictures
I read through all the texts
And I play back conversations
Over and over again
And I look at what I prayed for
Look at all that I've become
And I'm a pretty hopeless person
And I don't ask for much but
I hope that you're my best case love
And my life gets tough
I hope I try to find another
And it's just not enough
I hope I try to start over
I try to find somebody new
I hope she's drunk inside the house
I hope she's rude to my mom
I hope she finds somebody else
Once all my money is gone
Hope when I try to start over
I'm met with the cold hard truth
That my best case love was
Every book I read
And every Tuesday night in spring
Every phone call after work
I never wanted everything
Never asked to be confused
Never asked to be alone
And I thought I didn't have much hope
But I hope that you're my best case love
And my life gets tough
I hope I try to start another
And it's just not enough
I hope I try to start over
I try to find somebody new
I hope she tears my heart in half
I hope she hates all my friends
Hope she makes me never wanna do this ever again
Hope when I try to start over
I'm met with the cold hard truth
Hope when I try to start over
She leads me right back to you
