Lyrics
[verse]
When I saw your face...
I thought you were so beautiful.
I couldn't look away...
Ev'rything about you is surreal.
It never seemed quite right
Catchin' feelings at first sight.
This was just something
That I never wanted to feel.
[verse]
Dunno nothing about you...
Dunno what kind of person you are.
Don't want these feelin's pursued...
It all just feels so bizarre.
But there you are, I see
Standin' right in front of me.
And I'm so afraid
to receive yet another scar.
[chorus]
Is this reality or just a hallucination?
Is this a consequence of my generation?
I do not know if you are someone who is true.
All I know is I hate that I love you.
[instrumental interlude]
[verse]
I hear you talk with a friend...
And I'm not impressed.
Is it past pain that won't end...
And it's got me stressed?
And whenever we do talk
I just want to take a walk.
But I want to turn back
I see I want to invest.
[pre-chorus]
The last time I opened my heart,
It was broken before I could start.
I walked in to see someone else in the bed.
She didn't even seem to care if I were dead...
Don't want that to happen again...
[chorus]
Is this reality or just a hallucination?
Is this a consequence of my generation?
I do not know if you are someone who is true.
All I know is I hate that I love you.
[extended instrumental solo]
[bridge]
It's been too many times...
I've had too many cries...
But I gotta walk out and be a man...
Dunno how many more times I caaaaan...
[final verse]
You send me a text...
And say, "How about we study tonight?"
It leaves me perplexed...
Why did you send this invite?
Why did I give her my number?
Why did I become encumbered?
Did deep down some foolish hope...
Hope that you and I would someday unite?
[pre-chorus]
The last time I opened my heart,
It was broken before I could start.
I walked in to see someone else in the bed.
She didn't even seem to care if I were dead...
Don't want that to happen again...
[chorus]
Is this reality or just a hallucination?

I do not know if you are someone who is true.
All I know is I hate that I love you.
