Before I Knew You by J. Edward (US) Lyrics
[Chorus]
Can we go back to before I knew you?
Cause now I don't know just what to do
Back then, I had a grip on myself
And I didn't need anyone else
So can we go back to before I knew you?
[Verse 1]
Sitting here all broken and confused
My insides feel torn up, worn out and abused
And I haven't been ok
Ever since you told me you don't feel the same way
It's exhausting
And somewhere in between
Where I am and where I want to be
There's a detour sign with your name on it
And I just wish I didn't give a shit
Cause here I am wrapped up in you
I needed this like I needed
A fucked up head or a hole in my heart
But as long as I'm back at the start
[Chorus]
Can we go back to before I knew you?
Cause now I don't know just what to do
Back then, I stood on solid ground
And I didn't need you around
So can we go back to before I knew you?
[Chorus]
Can we go back to before I knew you?
Cause now I don't know just what to do
Back then, my head was up in the clouds
Oh, and no one could bring me down
So can we go back to before I knew you?
Yeah, can we go back to before I knew you?
[Bridge]
They say to learn from the past
"We may fade, but the lessons last"
But fuck that, I'd rather forget you altogether
[Chorus]
So can we go back to before I knew you?
Cause now I don't know just what to do
Back then, I was flying high
But then you took away my sky
So can we go back to before I knew you?
[Chorus]
Can we go back to before I knew you?
(Oh can we go, can we go, can we go back)
Cause now I don't know just what to do
(I always knew what to do)
Back then, I knew right where I stood
And I always felt like I could
So can we go back to before I knew you?
Yeah, can we go back to before I knew you?
Yeah, can we go back to before I knew you?
Can we go back to before I knew you?
Cause now I don't know just what to do
Back then, I had a grip on myself
And I didn't need anyone else
So can we go back to before I knew you?
[Verse 1]
