Lyrics
Make me a cup of coffee, And let's share our story. The young, dumb, hopeless love, Yeah, that kind of love— Where we never actually grew up. Make me a cup of coffee, And I'll write you a story Where everything was happily ever after. Yeah, it doesn't work out like that, 'Cause it never does. So I'll make you a cup of coffee And you can cry yourself to sleep, And dream of what we could have been— I know I do every night. So I'll make you a cup of coffee And you can cry yourself to sleep, And dream of what we could have been— I know I do every night. Young, dumb, hopeless love, Yeah, that kind of love. Young, dumb, hopeless love, Yeah, that kind of love. So I'll make you a cup of coffee And you can cry yourself to sleep, And dream of what we could have been— I know I do every night. So I'll make you a cup of coffee And you can cry yourself to sleep, And dream of what we could have been— I know I do every night.
