Gonna try and play it off

Gonna try and sell you

Gonna say I know the cost

What we got it can’t be through

 

Giving up is so hard

So, you think you can get it back

Lately I’ve been so alone

Now I’m slipping off the track

 

How do we get back to before, think it’s hopeless

We said forever now it’s gone

 

Just sometimes wish I didn’t know

Don’t make it wasted time, if you let it go

Just sometimes wish I didn’t know

Sometimes seems so hard just to let it go

 

City lights begin to fade

Like visions of our past

Darkness, I’ll lose my way

What it takes to make it last

It’s the ways we used to be

Slow hands, Friday nights

Getting high on your cologne

Next time

 

We’ll get it right, hoping, keep our focus

Take our chances on tomorrow

 

Just sometimes wish I didn’t know

Don’t make it wasted time, if you let it go

Just sometimes wish I didn’t know

Sometimes seems so hard just to let it go

 

How can we get back to before, now it’s over

I can’t keep going on sleepless nights

I feel the truth weighing down on these shoulders

I still remember how it was

 

Just sometimes wish I didn’t know

I wish I didn’t know

 

Just sometimes wish I didn’t know

Don’t make it wasted time, if you let it go

Just sometimes wish I didn’t know

I can’t go back now

Dream about tomorrow, don’t let it show

 

I know it’s taken years

I know it’s taken years

I know it’s taken years

I know it’s taken years
