Before Lyrics

I know you don't give second chances

Even though you acted like you would

Manipulated by the way that you dance

You got me feeling like I'm stranded in the woods

I've known you since high school

Took a little while

But after all the breadcrumbing

Realizing

I wasn't meant for you

And I guess I knew that

Before I laid eyes on you

And I guess I knew that

Before I fell in love

And I guess I knew that

Before I fell for you again

Needless to say

I was always patient with you

Lost hope cause you wouldn't see it through

And I was a placeholder to you

That's just until you found someone new

We tried everything

Without risking anything

Cause you manipulated me

With expert accuracy

I guess I knew that

Before I laid eyes on you

And I guess I knew that

Before I fell in love

And I guess I knew that

Before I fell for you again

Needless to say

If I were to die today

Would you say you love me?

Or would you not know what to say

Cause I warned you from the start

Darling

Should've been careful with my heart

Honey

I wanted you from the start

Darling

Should've trusted you'd do it again

Honey

But I trusted you with my heart again

And I fell right back to my knees

In the end

Should've closed the book on this page again

Cause I knew the end from the start

And I guess I knew that

Before I laid eyes on you

And I guess I knew that

Before I fell in love

And I guess I knew that

Before I fell for you again

(Now one last time from the top)

And I guess I knew that

Before I laid eyes on you (Thought I needed you)

And I guess I knew that

(Oh, yeah) Before I fell in love

And I guess I knew that (I trusted you, I trusted you)

Before I fell for you again (I trusted you, I trusted you)
