Thought we would be the perfect match
With all of our common interests
And similar dreams
I guess it's hard to see the facts
Until you're stuck and you're staring
At the physical thing
Our personalities just didn't balance
I wish it could've worked
But hey, it happens
We looked better on, better on
So much better on paper
We looked better on, better on
Better on paper
Good thing we didn't sign in ink
'Cause we'd be in far much deeper
Than where we are now
If we had never stopped to think
And stayed just like we were
Things could've really gone south
Our personalities just didn't balance, no
I wish it could've worked
But hey, it happens
We looked better on, better on
So much better on paper
We looked better on, better on
Better on paper
(Better on, better on)
(Better on, better on)
Better on paper
(Better on, better on)
(Better on, better on)
No way to know until you try it first
So let's consider it a lesson learned
I know some day you'll find the one you need
Even though it ain't me, no
We looked better on, better on
So much better on paper
We looked better on, better on
Better on paper
(Better on, better on)
(Better on, better on)
Better on paper
(Better on, better on)
(Better on, better on)
Better on paper
