lyrics

I wish I'd met you when I was a hopeless romantic.
I wish I'd met you when the world didn't seem so frantic
'Cause way back then, I'd fall for you
Like I always used to do.
Oh, I wish I'd met you when I was a hopeless romantic.

We would've made really great high school boyfriends and girlfriends.
We would hang out in the library, make out on the weekends,
But now I keep my distance from
Anything that reeks of love.
Oh, we would've made really great high school boyfriends and girlfriends.

I wish you wouldn't get attached because I'm going to hurt you.
I wish you wouldn't get your heart smashed, but I know I'm going to.
The more you care, the more you hurt:
That's the cherry on top of this dessert.
Oh, I wish you wouldn't get attached because I'm going to hurt you.

Oh, don't you think it's sad?
Everything I've loved so far's gone bad...
So I wish I'd met you when I was a hopeless romantic.
Oh, I wish I'd met you when I was a hopeless romantic.
