The Guy I Once Knew by Clare Follett Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Would it kill you to say you care about me?
I’ve barely spoken to you all week, and I don’t know what any of it means
Would it kill you to listen to me when I speak?
You know I love you, but I hate your guts
Seems you don’t give a fuck about us
And you’re beginning to lose my trust

[Refrain]
I want this to work out, but it feels like it's going south, ooh

[Verse 2]
Would you notice if I gave up?
Because I don’t know what to do now
I’ve tried to fix it, but I’ve had no luck, and I can’t do it by myself
Maybe I fell for the wrong one

[Refrain]
I want this to work out, but it feels like it's going south

[Chorus]
The sparks just don’t fly like they used to
It seems like you don’t care that I’m battered and I’m bruised
I hate that I still love you
'Cause you’rе not the guy I once knew, knеw, knew
No, you’re not the guy I once knew, knew, knew
You’re not that guy
[Bridge 1]
When you touch me, it all vanishes, and I don’t know how to manage it
I so badly want to salvage this
Honey, you used to keep me sane, but now when I’m with you I’m breaking
So really, I’ve no reason to stay

[Chorus]
The sparks just don’t fly like they used to
It seems like you don’t care that I’m battered and I’m bruised
I hate that I still love you, ‘cause you’re not the guy I once knew

[Bridge 2]
I don’t get the high that I used to
I feel like I’m losing you
Oh God, I so wanna love you
But you’re not the guy I once knew, knew, knew
Oh, you’re not the guy I once knew, knew, knew

Maybe I'm just not the one for you
