Fictional (Stripped)

Well, I guess the third time's not a charm Nursing a three times broken heart And down the rabbit hole again I put myself in another world Where I can be any other girl 'Cause I don't really wanna face it 'Cause, if it isn't real You can pretend all you want It's all you'll ever need "That's not healthy, " they said "To live in your head" But it hurts a lot less to me I fall in love with boys I see on a TV screen The ones in books who are as perfect as they can be I spend all of my time imagining What it would be like if they existed My parents tell me I should look for one in real life But I get let down by both the bad boys and the nice guys I'm tired of giving more than I receive So I'll just stick to the boys Who don't know me Oh, I hid his number, I almost called Like, maybe he's hurting after all I can't afford to be that naïve I'll just keep wishing it was me In that ending scene Where they're meeting up halfway And they're kissing in the rain It's a little bit cliché But I love it anyway 'Cause it's better than when you're walking home And the rain starts pouring But you're all alone I fall in love with boys I see on a TV screen The ones in books who are as perfect as they can be I spend all of my time imagining What it would be like if they existed My parents tell me I should look for one in real life But I get let down both the bad boys and the nice guys I'm tired of giving more than I receive So I'll just stick to the boys Who don't know me I'd rather keep on dreaming of someone I'll never meet (Ohh-oh) than give love to another one who won't choose me I'd rather keep on dreaming of someone I'll never meet (Ohh-oh) than give love to another one who won't choose me I fall in love with boys I see on a TV screen The ones in books who are as perfect as they can be I spend all of my time imagining What it would be like If they existed My parents tell me I should look for one in real life (ohh-oh) But I get let down by both the bad boys and the nice guys (ohh-oh) I'm tired of giving more than I receive (oh-oh) So I'll just stick to the boys who don't know me Ohh-oh-ohh (ohh-oh) I'm tired of giving more than I receive (ohh-oh) So I'll just stick to the boys who don't know me
