She was the one, I had my reasons She gave me somethin', somethin' to believe in Sleepless at night, it's quarter to three I'm having cold, cold sweats, I need some relief She was my one drug, show up when I'm low She got me out of time, I hate feelin' outta control She was my first love, I can't let her go She was my very own caramel Marilyn Monroe
I close my eyes and I dream Saw what I wanted to see I remember back when lifе was a blur (When life was a blur) I forced mysеlf to believe That she was perfect for me I fell in love with the idea of her (I fell in love with the idea of her)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh) I fell in love with the idea of her (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Lied to myself, ignored all the warnings I knew what it was, but I cannot love the girl she's becoming Now that I've realized, I wasn't ready for it (Ready) I take the blame, I tried to change the person she was
I close my eyes and I dream Saw what I wanted to see I remember back when life was a blur (When life was a blur) I forced myself to believe That she was perfect for me I fell in love with the idea of her (I fell in love with the idea of her)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh) I fell in love with the idea of her (Oh-oh, oh-oh) I fell in love, I fell in love (Oh-oh, oh-oh) Ooh, ooh, I fell in love with the idea of her (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
I close my eyes and I dream Saw what I wanted to see I remember back when life was a blur I forced myself to believe That she was perfect for me I fell in love with the idea of her
(Oh-oh, oh-oh) No-no, no-no, no I fell in love with the idea of her (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
