Falling for Fiction

He tucks my hair behind my ear

And tells me I did just fine

I wring my hands until he takes them

Then he looks deep in my eyes

He tells me just how smart and worthy 

I am and I believe him

He's so good at knowing how i'm feeling

It's like he can read my mind

Ohhh... if only

Ohhh... if only he were real

But that man does not exist

I'm just an idealist

I just prefer

Things rose colored

Take me back into his arms

Where he keeps me safe from harm

Is there something that I'm missing?

Why do I keep falling for fiction?

He's glad to talk about his feelings

Doesn't keep em locked inside

He never yells or makes a scene

And he definitely doesn't lie

His promises are never empty

And I know that I can trust him

Yeah, maybe he's predictable

But he's never made me cry

Ohhh... if only

Ohhh... if only he were real

But that man does not exist

I'm just an idealist

I just prefer

Things rose colored

Take me back into his arms

Where he keeps me safe from harm

Is there something that I'm missing?

Why do I keep falling for fiction?

He's what I see 

When I look at you

But it isn't true

He's what I need

But it isn't you

No it isn't true

No, that man does not exist

I'm just an idealist

I just prefer

Things rose colored

Take me back into his arms

Where he keeps me safe from harm

'Til I get what I've been missing

I'm not asking for perfection

I don't want to keep falling for fiction
