Back when it was easy
Back when it was new
Back when I was fearless
And everything was you
Back when we were dauntless
When it came down to the wire
When we didn't know the difference
Between a lover and a liar
And now I'm hearing churchbells
And they're counting out the minutes til I come undone
I wanted it to end well
But I guess that I was shooting with a blindfold just for fun
It was sweet at the beginning
Took a leap and the room kept spinning
How could I have loved you then
Back when it was easy
Back when we were golden
All we did was sleep for days
King Midas had a hold then
But I thought that we were safe
And now I'm hearing churchbells
And they're counting out the minutes til I come undone
I wanted it to end well
But I guess that I was shooting with a blindfold just for fun
Oh, it was sweet at the beginning
Took a leap and the room kept spinning
How could I have loved you then
Back when it was easy
I want the time I went and wasted
I want you so bad I can taste it
How could I have loved you then
Back when it was easy
How could I have loved you then
Back when it was easy
Back when it was easy all I wanted was somebody to talk to
And I'd give it all back but I don't really want to
Oh, I swore I was in love but I couldn't see
Well, now that I'm alone I've had a chance to gain a little perspective
I can tell you that your little heart is fucking defective
And it hurts
Oh, it hurts to breathe, breathe, breathe
But it was sweet at the beginning
Took a leap and the room kept spinning
How could I have loved you then
Back when it was easy
I want the time I went and wasted
I want you so bad I can taste it
How could I have loved you then
Back when it was easy
Oh, how could I have loved you then
