To my next girlfriend
Hi, I'm Carter
I don't eat pickles and I don't eat pork
I think you're one of the most beautiful girls I've ever talked to
I reiterate things when I mean them
I think you're one of the most beautiful girls that I've talked to

I'm an artist, and a hopeless romantic
I spend most of my day in my head over-analyzing almost everything
I know I'm weird I'm learning to love that about myself
I got a big ass head, I also got a big ass
Heart

I deal with depression
Pretty heavy sometimes that I have really bad anxiety
But at the same time I'm a people person
I'm trying to understand how I'm such a contradiction
But maybe you'll learn to love this in
The same way I'm learning to love myself

And on the topic of love
If we're going to be together
I want you to understand that this relationship
Isn't going to start in emotions
I'd like it to start as a decision
I need you to decide to love me
In the same way that someone decides to go to work everyday
I need you to understand that change is going to happen
We are going to change as people
This relationship may not end in marriage it may not end at all
But if it ends it'll end in change

We're not going to leave this the same people that we came in
I need you to be open to this change
In the same way that I need to be open to this change
I need you to be understanding because some days
I don't know myself, so I know I'll be hard to recognize
