someone always on your mind

taking up space that you didn’t have

looking back, i guess i wasn’t your type

it’s funny the things i know now

 

there’s no potion and there’s no spell

and no guarantee that these things will end well

i gave my heart away and it sunk down to the floor

 

it’s always been you

i wish it wasn’t true

you were my world but i never crossed your mind


i let myself believe

that you might just love me

a fairytale ending was never for me


and as i look back on it all

loving you was my fatal flaw

 

and i don’t want to be a trope

and focus on “the other girl”

but i’ll admit i still had some hope

until i realized you were with her

 

there’s no potion and there’s no spell

i was naive and i just couldn’t tell

you were gonna take my heart and just break it down, down, down

 

it’s always been you

i wish it wasn’t true

you were my world but i never crossed your mind


i let myself believe

that you might just love me

a fairytale ending was never for me


and as i look back on it all

loving you was my fatal flaw

 

how can anything be okay again

if you and i weren’t meant to be?

how can i even breathe again

if you’re in love with someone and she’s not me?

 

it’s always been you

i wish it wasn’t true

you’re still my world but you’re in someone else’s heart


you gave me butterflies

but now they’re parasites

your new fairytale ending is tearing me apart


and as i look back on it all

feeling scared as ever to fall


but as i look back on it all

loving you was my fatal flaw


loving you is my fatal flaw
