You were the one that I couldn't find, hidden away in the depths of my mind
Why did I let you go?
You're too good to be true
I messed it up and now I don't know what to do
We ran in circles and wasted time from right to wrong from right to wrong.
If I knew that you were mine I wouldn't have wasted time
I wish I could erase the past, now it's all collapsed in my lap
I over-thought so I locked up my heart, yeah
There you stood, your blue eyes hidden beneath your hood
Why did I let you go?
You're too good to be true
I messed it up and now I don't know what to do
We ran in circles and wasted time from right to wrong from right to wrong
If I knew that you were mine I wouldn't have wasted time
I wish I could erase the past, now it's all collapsed in my lap.
My mind is blank just like a clean slate
Will I meet another guy with the same blue eyes
The same name with the Converse shoes I gave
Will he have the same laugh, wear my homemade hat?
Bet I'll make another mistake and think he's just another fake.
Wish I could erase the past now
Wish I could bring you back.
If I knew that you were mine I wouldn't have wasted time
I wish I could erase the past, now it's all collapsed in my lap
If I knew that you were mine I wouldn't have wasted time
I wish I could erase the past, now it's all collapsed in my lap.
Why did I let you go?
You're too good to be true

This song is so cool. I felt the same one time
I really like it! This song means that there was a girl who had this friend as a boy, and he liked her. But the girl never noticed and one day felt the same but it was too late. Now everthing has "collapsed." very cute! i feel this way right now tho....TT.TT
Ok, from my mind is blank to I think that hes just another fake, does anyone really know that part besides Aly & AJ themselves. I have seen so many different versions to that part. So of course I listened to it myself and it sounded like mostly all of them. Maybe someone should email them about that???
"My mind is blank just like a clean slate. Will I meet another guy with the same blue eyes? And the same name with the converse shoes I gave? Will he have the same laugh? Wear my home-made hat? I'll make another mistake, and think he's just another fake."
That's the correct lyrics for that part.
Isn't it: "BET I'll make another mistake"?
Isn't it: "BET I'll make another mistake"?
LOVE THIS SONG! Reminds me of my first love. Even if we're already over, I still miss him so much. Hahaha :) Anyways. end stupid thoughts Which is better, "Chemicals React" or this?
I love this song!! can totally relate to it as well
Basically, this girl liked a boy but was too afraid to admit to him. She was wasting time just sitting around and not doing anything about her feelings for him, afraid to get rejected or lose their friendship they already had. However, little did she know that he liked her as well, and he told her this but it was probably too late... maybe he got a girlfriend or moved on from her or something, and now everything has been thrown back at her and it's "collapsed in her lap"... the friendship isn't working out now, it has collapsed and she feels like it's because of her. She wonders if she will ever find someone similar to him, but she realizes once she finds someone that is kind of like him that he is a fake... he isn't the real deal... he isn't the guy.
Also, now that I'm relistening, I think this song could also be about a girl who thinks that a guy is cheating on her, so she "locks up her heart" and tries to move on. However, she realizes he wasn't cheating or really was there for her for the right reasons and she realizes he wasn't a fake all along... but now it's too late, he's already mad at her for not trusting him. If she knew that he was hers all along, this never would've happened, and now their relationship is ruined. ("Bet I'll make another mistake and think he's just another fake") This is the line that gives me that idea. She'll meet another guy that's just like him but she might make the same mistake as this time and think he's not here for the right reasons/cheating/ a fake. Also she might have trust issues but he really was the good guy... she just wishes she knew that sooner.
