[Verse 1]
Would've been really cool to love you
If you'd given me the chance
Instead you strayed me along for six whole months
Like I'm some kind of experiment
Would be really good to know you now
What's that version like?
Does he ever look back?
Does he ever feel bad for leaving me behind?

[Pre-Chorus]
It's like I almost get it
Then somehow I fuck it up and lose it
I don't really think I'm the problem
But I've got no way to prove it

[Chorus]
So go ahead and break my heart and
Never finish what we started
Like I'm good until I'm not
When your training wheels come off
I'm having trouble getting past this
I'm only perfect if l'm practice
Just slightly not enough
Always the one before the one
[Verse 2]
Maybe this is just my purpose
To make you realize
Exactly who and what you want
That must be nice to find

[Pre-Chorus]
It's like I almost get it
Then somehow I fuck it up and lose it
I don't really think I'm the problem
But I've got no way to prove it

[Chorus]
So go ahead and break my heart and
Never finish what we started
Like I'm good until I'm not
When your training wheels come off
I'm having trouble getting past this
I'm only perfect if I'm practice
Just slightly not enough
Always the one before the one

[Post-Chorus]
I see your photos on the internet
Yeah, he's got the same face, but he's not the same man
I can't help to think that I could have had a life with that
[Outro]
'Cause I'm having trouble getting past this
I'm only perfect if I'm practice
Just slightly not enough
Always the one before the one
