CJSleeves - Don't Get Your Hopes Up Lyrics

Did you ever stop to think that maybe I've liked you since the first time I met you?
You know what I would've done if I was as smart as you, if I could've built a time machine?
I would've used it so I could go back and meet you sooner
Don't get your hopes up
You know she don't feel the same
So when you end up hurting you're the only one to blame
Don't get your hopes up
You might not see it now
But I know you're gonna notice when the world comes crashing down
Don't get your hopes up
No, no, no, no
Don't get your hopes up
Don't get your hopes up
No, no, no, no
Don't get your hopes up
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Soon, Imma get to see you again
Figure out if it's better for us to leave it as friends
If you let me in I promise I'm not leaving again, I'm not
Even after all this time
I can't get you out of my mind
Can't get your name out these lines
Looking for other girls feels like I'm blind
I look and I look but you're all that I find
Oh, why do I feel like you're mine
It's been a year not a hair nor a hide
But the imprint that you left so defined
I know that it's dumb, but I've got to try
So I'll take a leap and just hope that I land it
I'm already falling, I'm feeling the panic
I've played all my cards but I'm not empty-handed
Until you say no, I'm scared I can't stand it
At 18 I told you I loved you and meant it
You looked in my eyes and I'll never forget it
You told me you loved me now that was three years ago
Still I will never regret it, no
Letters in a box that you wrote me, say you love, miss and adore me
Feelings in my heart won't leave me, still they warn me, yeah
And when the stars align, we'll be together again
Still they warn me
Don't get your hopes up
You know she don't feel the same
So when you end up hurting you're the only one to blame
Don't get your hopes up
You might not see it now
But I know you're gonna notice when the world comes crashing down
Don't get your hopes up
No, no, no, no
This is not gonna work, put yourself on the line you're just gonna get hurt
Don't get your hopes up
This is not gonna work, put yourself on the line you're just gonna get hurt
Don't get your hopes up
No, no, no, no
This is not gonna work, put yourself on the line you're just gonna get hurt
Don't get your hopes up
This is not gonna work, no, this is not gonna work
Can I talk a bit?
I know you really cared about her
I know you thought she'd be the one
I know you thought it would last forever
I know it sucks, but you've got to realize you're done
I know neither one of you ever wanted to break up
For some reason it never seemed to last
I know that you loved this girl, and that's why I hate to say it
But you've got to leave her in the past
Please, protect yourself
Before you were doing so well
You've been happy, now think about the pain it will cause you
Why're you gonna do that to yourself?
You're trapped, thinking she's the only one
Now it's time to break out of that cell
You'll never meet any of the fish in the sea if you're on the beach writing her name in the shells
Maybe there's somebody else, and this is apart of the plan
Yeah, I know that you've tried, and so far no-one has made you feel the way that she can
I don't have all the answers, but I know this much is true
You've gotta stop thinking about her, cause you know she's not thinking 'bout you, yeah
And when the stars align, we'll be together again
Cause you know she's not thinking about you
Don't get your hopes up
You know she don't feel the same
So when you end up hurting you're the only one to blame
Don't get your hopes up
You might not see it now
But I know you're gonna notice when the world comes crashing down
Don't get your hopes up
No, no, no, no
This is not gonna work, put yourself on the line you're just gonna get hurt
Don't get your hopes up
This is not gonna work, put yourself on the line you're just gonna get hurt
Don't get your hopes up
No, no, no, no
This is not gonna work, put yourself on the line you're just gonna get hurt
Don't get your hopes up
This is not gonna work, no, this is not gonna work
