I was a foolish girl
I overthought everything
I gave meaning to everything
When they meant nothing

I believe that I'm smart
But when it came to you
My mind went blank
And I forgot all logic

My brain knew that I shouldn't
But my heart continued to race
The butterflies in my stomach went wild
And for some reason, I liked you

But now when I think of you
It leaves a bitter taste in my mouth
I cringe at everything I did
I wish that reality hit me sooner

Now I can barely remember
How you look and how I felt
As if it was a memory from a long time ago
When it's only been a few months

Who would've thought that one day
I would use past tense
When I talk about you
And everything will just be a memory

Maybe I shouldn't have met you
Maybe I shouldn't have liked you
Maybe I shouldn't have overthought
Maybe I shouldn't have given meaning to everything

Maybe I should've stopped myself
Maybe I should've thought logically
Maybe I should've realized this sooner
Maybe I should've just ignored you

But maybe you were a lesson
Maybe you were an experience
Maybe you were part of the journey
Maybe you were a way to distract myself

Maybe I only used you to escape reality
Maybe I only liked I idea of having a crush
Maybe I only liked your appearance
Maybe I never truly liked you

Or maybe you were a "childhood mistake"
Maybe liking you was a huge mistake
But if you were a mistake
Then you were probably the best yet dumbest one I made
