High School Sweetheart Lyrics

I wish I could write a letter to myself
'Cause I know I won't listen to anyone else
At sixteen, your biggest dream is wearin' his letterman jacket
You're so in love
And breakin' up is the worst thing that could ever happen
Then it happens
And you're just too young to see
That it passes
Yeah, I know that

He broke your high-school sweetheart
And it feels like your life's over before it starts
You think your whole world revolves in those hallways
But it won't always
You'll just have to trust me
One day it'll just be high-school sweetheart (Sweetheart)

If you could only see who you are now
That quiet kind of confidence you've found
One day, that boy will just be a black-and-white picture in a yearbook
You'll hardly remember how

He broke your high-school sweetheart
And it feels like your life's over before it starts
You think your whole world revolves in those hallways
But it won't always
You'll just have to trust me
One day it'll just be high-school sweetheart (Sweetheart)
Mmm, sweetheart

I know you don't wanna hear it
But you'll grow through the pain
You'll find out one day
That he wasn't the one anyway
But, I know that

He broke your high-school sweetheart
And it feels like your life's over before it starts
You think your whole world revolves in those hallways
But it won't always
You'll just have to trust me
One day it'll just be high-school sweetheart (Sweetheart)
Mmm, sweetheart
Mmm, mmm, sweetheart
