I've known you since
we were eight
And yes I know
Those years were great
We had each other
With you I could just be
But our worlds tore us apart
I just needed you to believe
But life moved on
And now were here
And I hate time
I'm filled with fear
That we may never be the same
And there is too many things to blame

The way it was before
When we hung out everyday
And now we're drifting away
The way it was before
When you put a smile on my face
And that you can't replace
The way it was before
When we were young
And always wanted more
I liked it better the way it was before


Love is great
And we had our chance
But the years changed you
You quit the dance
And I could never
figure out why
You just left me there to cry
You moved on
And now I'm here
And I hate time
I'm filled with fear
Why did you have to go
There's all these things we'll never know

The way it was before
When I woke up with you
And our love was so true
The way it was before
When you still knew who you were
Oh when you left boy it hurt
The way it was before
When we were young
And always wanted more
I liked it better the way it was before



I finally moved on
And now I'm here
I'm enjoying my time
I've let go of my fear

But sometimes I look back and think
And sometimes it makes my heart sink

I'll always like it better when
We hung out everyday
and I woke up with you
And you put a smile on my face
And when our love was so true
We were so young
And always wanted more
I liked it better the way it was before
Oh woah ohohoh the way it was before
