Got My Hopes Up

The Rions

Compositor: Asher Mclean / Harley Wilson / Noah Blockley / Tom Partington

You wish I was part of their crew
So you weren't embarrassed when I came up to talk to you
You wish that I was cool
But you're not allowed to like someone who's not into tools

But I'm not changing
Sounds like a job that's for you
Maybe you should find a new group

Baby, you got my hopes up
Only to tear them back down
Oh, well, I should've seen it coming
Should've known you wouldn't stick around

And you want to forget about us
So it's not a problem when I ask you all about trust
And you make it seem like a joke
Oh, but I know you don't want to introduce me to your folks

But I know how it goes
Well, I'm a nerd and that's a sin
To admit your illegal feelings
But I'll get over it
'Cause, to you, I'm just another kid
Another memory that you'll never miss

Wеll, baby, you got my hopes up
Only to tear them back down
Oh, wеll, I should've seen it coming
Should've known you wouldn't stick around
Baby, you got my hopes up
Made me believe I was strong
Girl, you let me fall so far
Couldn't see that I was wrong

Maybe there's one day where it won't matter how I look
A world where you don't have to love someone just by the book
And I'll break free from all that you see
I'll be a changed man
But, when you look deep
You'll see that I'm still the same thing
The same thing

Baby, you got my hopes up
Only to tear them back down
Oh, well, I should've seen it coming
Should've known you wouldn't stick around
But, baby, you got my hopes up
You made me believe I was strong
Girl, you let me fall so far
Couldn't see that I was wrong

Well, baby, you got my hopes up
