Before You Knew Me Lyrics[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 me1
