  • In your dreams, was it perfect?
    Did it feel real? Was it worth it?

    I don't wanna go back to the place, so insecure
    Was I not the girl you signed up for?
    I know why you wanna talk
    'Cause you only call me when I've done something extraordinary

    Tell me, did you ever love me?
    Did you ever love me, did you ever love me?
    Honestly, did I live up to the hype?
    'Cause you held me, held me like a trophy
    Then left the party when the magic died
    Yeah, you
    Gonna be sorry, and I'll be fine, oh
    Tell me
    Did I live up to the hype?
    Did I live up to the hype?

    In my dreams, you stuck around
    You didn't leave when I let my guard down

    I don't wanna go back to the place, so insecure
    Was I not the girl you signed up for?
    I know why you wanna talk
    'Cause you only call me when I've done something extraordinary

    Tell me, did you ever love me?
    Did you ever love me, did you ever love me?
    Honestly, did I live up to the hype?
    'Cause you held me, held me like a trophy
    Then left the party when the magic died
    Yeah, you
    Gonna be sorry, and I'll be fine, oh
    Tell me
    Did I live up to the hype?
    Did I live up to the hype?

    So I hope you enjoy the ride
    Now I'm out of sight
    But still on your mind

    Did you ever love me, did you ever love me?
    Honestly, did I live up to the hype?
    'Cause you held me, held me like a trophy
    Then left the party when the magic died
    Yeah, you
    Gonna be sorry, and I'll be fine, oh
    Tell me
    Did I live up to the hype?
    Did I live up to the hype? Writer/s: NICKOLAS HAHN, SIGRID SOLBAKK RAABE
