Sides used to be taken on
Which direction I should run
I chose the one I began to think
Loved me less
The other side loved me more
He called me every night before
I treated him so bad he up and left
I've been told there's always
Someone out there for
Hopeless romantics like me
I've been told to keep my head and standards high
I don't know if that's what's right to believe
I've been told never to settle
But I'm beginning to think
That's why they call it
Settling down
I thought I found the one that day
He was perfect in every way
Guess that his years just missed mine
Then one came along
And said he wanted me for once
Turns out his beliefs were out of line
I've been told there's always
Someone out there for
Hopeless romantics like me
I've been told to keep my head and standards high
I don't know if that's what's right to believe
I've been told never to settle
But I'm beginning to think
That's why they call it
Settling down
There was always a boy in the back of my mind
We always said it's just not right
Who knew loving someone would hurt somebody else
Guess we made it to a point
Where we don't wear that mistake no more
And I think maybe it's time we locked it down
I've been told there's always
Someone out there for
Hopeless romantics like me
I've been told to keep my head and standards high
I don't know if that's what's right to believe
I've been told never to settle
But I'm beginning to think
That's why they call it
Settling down
