Before You Knew Me

[Verse 1] Stay with me Though I'm faulty Though I cannot sleep, I keep you up all night Stay with me But thread carefully 'Cause you say I need devotion all the time And you say I've lost my light, my light [Chorus] Don't you love who I was? Before you knew me? You read straight through me You read straight through me Know you love who I was? Before you knew me? You read straight through me You read straight through me [Verse 2] Stay with me Though I'm far from fantasy From that little boy's dream you love to keep in your mind Stay with me Though I've got some sorrows Always thinking 'bout tomorrow's Nothing's ever quite right And you say I've lost my light, my light [Chorus] Don't you love who I was? Before you knew me? You read straight through me You read straight through me Know you love who I was? Before you knew me? You read straight through me You read straight through me [Bridge] Strip away the layers of ourselves Till there is no one else to be And I'm not caught between reality and fantasy But I'm still asking you when to love me? [Chorus] Don't you love? Love who I was? Don't you love who I was? Before you knew me? You read straight through me You read straight through me Don't you love? Love who I was? Don't you love who I was? Before you knew me? You read straight through me You read straight through me [Outro] Don't you love who I was? Before you knew me? You read straight through me You read straight through me Don't you love who I was? Before you knew me? You read straight through me
