[Verse 1]
A pretty girl stands on the sidewalk and cries
She doesn't notice the rain
This pretty girl had a boyfriend
But he's out in Texas, and she's in LA
He doesn't call anymore
And she barely eats when she's anxious
So it's been a few days
A pretty girl cries on the sidewalk
And she doesn't think she'll be okay
Oh, oh

[Verse 2]
A pretty boy sits at his laptop
Trying to write down the words in his head
And this pretty boy has a habit
Of taking the worst kind of people to bed
A girl broke his heart in Tacoma
And he hasn't gonе back there since
A prеtty boy sits at his laptop
And wonders if one day it might all make sense

[Chorus]
If love is so great, why do I feel so sad
All of the time? I just
Want to know if it's real, and if so
I'll be damned
Cause all of this time I've been hoping
Someone will get me through
I thought that it was love
I thought that it was you
But if love is real, why do I feel so sad?
[Verse 3]
A pretty girl stands on the sidewalk and cries
She doesn't notice the rain
A pretty boy sits on his laptop
In the corner of a small cafe
He sees the pretty girl crying
And he runs out to ask if she's okay
Maybe it's just a coincidence
But I think it was fate
