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
