I think I mistook Remus for someone else
I see now that no one can blossom the way that you do
You build me up and redecorate my mental health
And you let me in, even if it's not the way I want you to
Looking back, I don't think I was hurting
Because I didn't spend time with her
I just didn't spend enough with you
I didn't know that these songs I wrote were about you
You don't want to know what I would do for
A new day in your company
We won't masquerade our chemistry anymore
I recognise that this is entirely my fault
And as much as I want it, I don't expect your forgiveness
But I implore you to not focus on the pain I caused
And focus on the times I made your sadness diminish
I can guarantee you won't find a soul
Who treasures you more than I do
And if you did, I'd beat them by ten percent
I learned what jealousy was just by watching you
I'd sleep on a bed of nails if I'd wake up to
A new day in your company
We won't masquerade our chemistry anymore
When I wrote these songs, I wasn't thinking of you
But when I sing them, I can't think of anything else
I've spent too much time living in denial
And I think it's time I came out of my shell
I've tried to love others, tried to find a new gem
But I can only love what I see of you in them
If that's not a sign I shouldn't give up on you
I don't know what is, besides Rome wasn't built in a day
Just you and me
We won't masquerade our chemistry
A new day in your company
We won't masquerade our chemistry anymore
Yeah, Rome
They say Rome wasn't built in a day, day
