When I Loved You Like That

[Verse 1]

You lit me up just like a match

Then you burned me out just as fast

You flew me high just like a kite

Up in the air, leaving me there alone in the sky

[Chorus]

Why you gotta be so complicated?

Give me the world and then take it back

When I loved you, when I loved you like that

[Verse 2]

You put my love in a bottle in the ocean

Thinking you could control the tide

Just so you could have the feeling

Of wanting me back one more time, yeah

I held you like the morning holds the sun

So carefully, I let you shine

So wild and free, so endlessly

I gave you every part of me

[Chorus]

Why you gotta be so complicated?

Give me the world and then take it back

When I loved you, yeah

When I loved you like that

[Verse 3]

Now you're walking in the city streets

And you're cold and you're all alone

The only thing keepin' you company

Is the melody in your song

Keep singing it

Pour your scotch on the rocks

And drink your misery down

Go home and make love to her and picture me, picture me

Yeah, picture me

[Bridge]

When I loved you like that

When I loved you like that

When I loved you like that

When I loved you like that

Oh

[Outro]

When I loved

When I loved

When I loved you like that

When I loved

When I loved

When I loved you like that
