The Idea

The truth is I stopped loving you some time ago Not when I should have but eventually I learned to let you go Now I'm thankful for the lessons that we shared right from the start You didn't understand the way I had placed you in my heart 'Cause I fell in love with the idea With the idea of loving you I fell in love with the idea With the idea of loving you Three months was all that it took to make me fall for you When the seasons changed I thought we'd make it through The distance between us was more than miles I was still at home but you'd been gone for a while And the truth is I stopped loving you some time ago Not when I should have but eventually I learned to let you go Now I'm thankful for the lessons that we shared right from the start You didn't understand the way I had placed you in my heart 'Cause I fell in love with the idea With the idea of loving you I fell in love with the idea With the idea of loving you I got so used to having you there by my side I got so used to being the one who says goodbye And it's so true that summer love will make you cry I got so used by you The truth is I stopped loving you some time ago Not when I should have but eventually I learned to heal my soul Now I'm thankful for the lessons that we shared right from the start You didn't understand the way I had placed you in my heart 'Cause I fell in love with the idea With the idea of loving you I fell in love with the idea With the idea of loving you I fell in love with the idea With the idea of loving you I fell in love with the idea With the idea of loving you
