Close the book before it turns to tragedy Tear the treehouse down, give up the fantasy Nothin' to regret, since the day we met Glad we took a chance makin' our own world Perfectly imperfect like it had to be Who thought that one first kiss Would turn into two heartbreaks? 'Cause, since we were young, I swore I'd never walk away I love you so much that I've gotta let you go It couldn't last forever And I hope you find better I can't forget us, can't pretend we ain't broken It was good together Now I've gotta let you go I'll always be in love with who we used to be I'll save the photographs and keep the memories The ribbon in your hair, the secrets that we shared The way that you would stare at me across the room We laughed until we cried, it feels like yesterday Who thought their own first kiss Would turn into two heartbreaks?
