Fictional

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 naive

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 cliche, 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 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-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

I'd rather keep on dreaming of someone I'll never meet

Than give love to another one who won't choose me

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

I'd rather keep on dreaming of someone I'll never meet

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

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-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh

I'm tired of giving more than I receive

So I'll just stick to the boys who don't know me
