[Verse 1]
When I was a kid I played pretend so often
I started believing my own games
When I was a kid I read so many works of fiction
I started believing what they’d say

[Pre-Chorus]
And then I met you with those eyes
Spinning treetops in July
And I swore that I recognized you
From a past life
Where we never got it right

[Chorus]
But I should’ve guessed it would happen like this
Anyone with common sense could see it
I should’ve guessed I’d be crying in my kitchen
While you’re busy kissing somebody I can’t compete with
And we both know I can’t make it even
I probably needed a reality check
And now I’ve got one so I really should’ve guessed

[Verse 2]
And I know I tend to over romanticize moments
Bottle them up and hide them away
Yeah I know I tend to try and stay in that slow motion
But nothing holds you these days
‘Cause she’s a golden summer sky
And I’m an ocean that’s far to deep for you to dive
[Chorus]
I should’ve guessed it would happen like this
Anyone with common sense could see it
I should’ve guessed I’d be crying in my kitchen
While you’re busy kissing somebody I can’t compete with
And we both know I can’t make it even
I probably needed a reality check
And now I’ve got one so I really should have guessed
This obsession
Was only messing with my head

I should’ve guessed it would happen like this
Anyone with common sense could see it
I should’ve guessed I’d be crying in my kitchen
While you’re busy kissing somebody I can’t compete with
We both know I can’t make it even
I probably needed a reality check
And now I’ve got one so I really should’ve guessed
