[Verse 1: Ryan Met]
I am not chosen, or that unique
Honestly, you were and you chose me
Maybe I fucked up everything
Is this how it feels to be blue?
You said you'd love me, no matter what
You said you'd love me, is that what I loved?
All of these choices messed me up
And everyone's mean, except you

[Chorus: Ryan Met]
I think I probably wasn't in love with you
I think I probably loved the idea of you
And though I may be missing the feel of you
I think I probably wasn't in love with you
I said it 'cause I no longer wanna hurt
I said it back to you 'cause you said it first
And though I may be wishing it wasn't true
I think I probably wasn't in love
I wasn’t in love with you

[Verse 2: Ryan Met]
I was too worried how we'd end up
I wasn't looking and you grew up
Now I'm here writing this dumb song
'Cause I can't even tell you the truth

[Chorus: Ryan Met]
I think I probably wasn't in love with you
I think I probably loved the idea of you
And though I may be missing the feel of you
I think I probably wasn't in love with you
I said it 'cause I no longer wanna hurt
I said it back to you 'cause you said it first
And though I may be wishing it wasn't true
I think I probably wasn't in love
I wasn't in love with you

[Outro: Ryan Met]
This is gonna break your heart
I'm so sorry, yeah, I know
This is gonna break your heart
Is this all that life's about?
Trying to love how you turn out?
I don't love it much at all
This is gonna break your heart
I'm so sorry, yeah, I know
This is gonna break your heart
Is this all that life's about?
Trying to love how you turn out?
I don't love it much at all
I don't love it much at all

The indie-pop band AJR—three brothers born and raised in New York City—achieved a startlingly quick level of success with 2013 track “I’m Ready", a buoyant electro-pop smash that was featured in the trailer for Amy Schumer’s Trainwreck and became certified US Platinum in 2015.

Adam Met (bass/vocals), is the oldest brother, a Columbia University graduate. Ryan Met (ukulele/piano/vocals), a bespectacled ‘94 kid is the band’s main songwriter, also having co-written Andy Grammer hits “Back Home” and the certified gold “Good To Be Alive”. Jack Met (vocals/guitar), is the lead vocalist who splits time between the band and attending Columbia.

AJR began in 2005, busking on the streets and in the parks of New York. Raised on vinyls from the 50s and 60s, AJR was initially inspired by the likes of The Beach Boys and Frankie Valli, but the original sound they’ve now created resembles a modern mix of those classic sounds, with flavors of Imagine Dragons, fun., and hip-hop production elements pointing towards Kanye West.
