[Verse 1]
I paint this picture in my head
(But I guess I) Just don’t live in reality
(And I'll admit that) It’s so pathetic, that I can’t
(Guess I’m thinking) About how perfect we could be

[Chorus]
Why you gotta go and get my hopes up?
And love me like you did, then act like I did not exist
Get distracted then you're gone (Come on)
Why you gotta go and get my hopes up?
You had me so convinced, you loved me from the beginning
And now I know that I was wrong (Come on)
Why you gotta go and get my hopes up?

[Verse 2]
Oh, I was so excited today
You make the whole thing go away
Guess I got too hookеd so easily
You said you'd stay right here with mе

[Bridge]
And when you're lost in a way, when you're down in a long time
I didn’t know where to go, oh

[Chorus]
Why you gotta go and get my hopes up?
And love me like you're near, then you wanna disappear
Keep me up till the dawn (Come on)
Why you gotta go and get my hopes up?
You had me so convinced, you loved me from the beginning
And now I know that I was wrong (Come on)
Why you gotta go and get my hopes up?
And make me think you did want me from the beginning
Understand what we are (Come on)
Why you gotta go and get my hopes up?
You had me so convinced, you loved me from the beginning
And now I know that I was wrong (Come on)

[Outro]
Why you gotta go and get my hopes up?
La-la-la, la
La-la-la, la
La-la-la, la
Why you gotta go and get my hopes up?
La-la-la, la
La-la-la, la
La-la-la, la
Why you gotta go and get my hopes up?
