Unfair

You were broke, I had no house
You moved to Paris, I wanted to move out
We were supposed to make love work somehow

You've got a new guy, and I'm happy for ya
I heard he's French, from Paris
Did you meet him when we did long distance when you lived there?
That part still stings
Imagining you guys falling in love before we ever fell out
Breaking ice before we ever broke down
Letting your hearts collide before you ever let mine down

It's hard to say, but I get it

Too early, too young
We were so in love when I shouldn't have loved anyone
We were too ambitious for twenty-one
It's so unfair to love so hard at so young
So unfair
So unfair

Best way to get over you was to get under someone else
We were on a break, I met her at a bar
Brought her home and had sex
Then you showed up crying, man, I was so scared
And five years later
Your mascara still stains my pink Carhartt T-shirt
I don't wear it, but I can't throw it
Be like hitting delete on our history
Deleting what you meant to me
Even if we weren't meant to be

Now I know that we're

Too early, too young
We were so in love when I shouldn't have loved anyone
We were too ambitious for twenty-one
It's so unfair to love so hard at so young
So unfair
So unfair

It could have worked five years later, and I see that now
And those decisions were right but I'm still just as sad about it
And I know if I see you someday down the line
And we bump into each other in some grocery line
You'll be there with your family and I'm there with mine
And I, I know I'll get this feeling when I look in your eyes
Like, this could have been us, it'll be awkward but nice
It'll be like I'm seeing straight into your mind
And then we'll both just say, "Hi"
And I guess that's just life

Too early, too young
We were so in love when I shouldn't have loved anyone
We were too ambitious for twenty-one
It's so unfair to love so hard at so young
