Would've Been Beautiful

I fell in love with you in the ninth grade

I tried to tell you when I'd steal your pencil case

I saw a white dress when I saw your face

Life's so simple when you're young

I'd spend my whole youth just tryna break through

Into your heart where I took off my shoes

Fightin' for bedsheets, I got used to

Love's so simple when it's young

And now I see this big house with some bedrooms

You're in a high-rise with a nice view

I see those green eyes they got from you

But you're only lookin' at mine

And I'm afraid to give up on this

But I won't blame you for bein' honest

And what hurts the most is love won't save it all

And that they would've been beautiful (ahh)

And that they would've been beautiful

Sometimes before I crash into my bed

I'll wrap the top sheet underneath the mattress

It helps me sleep to know it's just the way you liked it

Nights are darker when you're gone

I never wanted you to feel you had to bottle it up

You don't need me to see you're already enough

Guess I got a little carried away fallin' in -

Love's as simple as the sun

And now I'm in this big house with these bedrooms

You're still in my mind but out of my view (my mind)

They got them green eyes, but they're not from you

I wonder how you looked in white

Was so afraid to give up on this

But I won't blame you for being honest

And what hurts the most is love don't save it all

And that they would've been beautiful (ahh)

And that they would've been beautiful (ahh)

Mmm

And what hurts the most is love might not save it all

And that for them, you would've been beautiful
