  • (One heartbreak closer)
    Hm

    Another, "Almost perfect"
    Didn't work, but totally worth it
    Better to have loved and lost my mind
    Than lose the nerve to even try
    Another conversation
    Awkward, but the ice is breaking
    I've been in some shit relationships
    But I've remained an optimist

    It's not a game I'm playing
    It's not a thrill I'm chasing
    More like a space I'm saving
    And I don't even know your name

    But if it gets me to you, then it ain't wasted time
    With every, "So close," I'm closer to the rest of my life
    Another bad first date (check)
    Another, "Nothing left to say" (check)
    What I mean is, the way I see it
    I'm one heartbreak closer to you
    You

    Hey baby, can I call you baby? Is that okay?
    I don't even know you, but I can't wait to know you someday
    Imagine someday when we look back
    I'll thank my past for giving me my future better half
    I'm sorry for the the time it's taking
    But I'ma make it worth the waiting
    And all this wrong love that I learned from
    Was just practice for the right one

    If it gets me to you, then it ain't wasted time
    With every "So close," I'm closer to the rest of my life
    Another, "Just got played" (check)
    A shot of bourbon for the pain (check)
    What I mean is, the way I see it
    I'm one heartbreak closer to you (one heartbreak closer)
    You (one heartbreak, one heartbreak)

    It's kinda strange to miss
    Someone I haven't met yet
    Someone I haven't kissed yet
    But I'll go through it all

    If it gets me to you, then it ain't wasted time
    With every, "So close," I'm closer to the rest of my life
    Another sad goodbye (check)
    Another sleepless night (check)
    What I mean is, the way I see it
    I'm one heartbreak closer to you (oh, I'm one heartbreak close to you)
    You
    You
    You
    One heartbreak closer to you Writer/s: Gordie Sampson, Hunter Easton Hayes, Simon Wilcox, Thomas Tawgs Salter
