Falling in love with love

I fell in love with an idea Every time that I'd see ya My heart would skip a beat and Just when our eyes would meet I'd fall a little more in love But it never happened to be true This whim between me and you We had an imaginary romance A make-believe paired dance Where I'd fall a little more in love Then you found yourself the real deal I guess I should just retreat and heal My broken bits were stuck Couldn't imagine I'd be so dumb-struck I fell a little too far in love It shouldn't hurt this much to lose A heart I never owned to choose Me over the rest of the world How could I have seen this unfurled I fell so very hard in love So I've lost nothing really mine An common idea of its kind Leaving me the way it came Weighing me down with little shame Next idea, I won't fall so much in love
