Brendan Abernathy - married in a year Lyrics

another girl I didn't marry
I chased the heartbreak with the pantry
7 down how many to go
I'm insecure and I wanna know

was it my great mistake to light that fire
with him standing there
did I set that stage get you high
to settle for average and fair

am I unattractive or too romantic
fuel for your love affair hmm hmm

I thought I'd love you in the morning babe
oh I guess you loved him an evening late
I can't believe I ever believed in fate
oh was it ever gonna be was it ever gonna be me?

you'll be married in a year in the suburbs
with a kid on the way in three
convincing yourself you're living the American dream

and I'll be dancing out in California
the kid who got it all wrong
convincing myself that one day I'll write a love song

was it my great mistake to light that fire
with him standing there
when I thought I found myself
I lost it fair and square

in a car across the country
trying to make some stranger love me hmm hmm

I thought I'd love you in the morning babe
oh I guess you loved him an evening late
I can't believe I ever believed in fate
was it ever gonna be was it ever gonna be me?

there ain't a door in this city with enough for me
oh I'm just a wide eyed boy too wild and free
don't go claim the old it's not you it's me
oh I've been around the block to feel when it's over
and when it's over

you'll be married in a year in the summer
with a kid on the way in three
convincing yourself you'll live in the American Dream

when I'll be dancing out in California
the kid who got it all wrong
convincing myself one day I'll write a love song
