Lyrics and translation

Original

I don't need to romanticize you. I don't want the password to your phone.

I trust that when you say you're out with friends, you are, and I'll leave it alone.

No version of you in my head could be better than the one that I know.

I'm used to building people up in my mind for them to let me down, but I'm letting that go.

You can have your interests, and you'll be one of mine.

But don't feel like you have to fill up all my time.

You're not my remedy. Gateway to codependency.

You can be you. I'll let that shit be. I'm writing realistic love songs.

What'd you do to me?

What'd you do to me?

We can live in some crappy apartment or be a fucking billionaire.

As long as I'm figuring out how to float on this rock, where we are, I don't care.

You don't fix all of my problems. Actually, sometimes you cause me more.

You're the first person I wanna live in the gray with.

You're the first person worth fighting for.

I get in my issues, and sometimes I'll be yours.

You always give me space, and that just makes me want you more.

You're not my remedy. Gateway to codependency.

You can be you. I'll let that shit be. I'm writing realistic love songs.

What'd you do to me?

What'd you do to me?

I'm not an optimist, and we both know that, too.

I'm just a pessimist who sees the best in you.

Well, I'm an artist, so I hardly speak the truth.

But I've been writing realistic love songs about you.

You're not my remedy. Gateway to codependency.

You can be you. I'll let that shit be.

I'm writing realistic love songs about you and me.

What'd you do to me?

I don't need to romanticize you.
