Lyrics

[Intro]
I was better before I met you
Before I met you
[Verse 1]
I'm always coming down
Living at the bottom
This pain don't feel the same
Drowning in the sorrow
The magic you erased left me so hollow
The smile upon your faces haunt me
[Bridge]
Loving your games, playing again
Finding a way to barely escape
Look at your smile, and circle the drain
A beautiful cycle
On and off again
Bathing in the sin
I never seem to win
But you love to watch me try
[Chorus]
It felt good to know
I let you in my soul
I gave you all control
But I was better before, better before
Better before I met you
Before I met you
[Verse 2]
It felt so good to hate
And see just what you did
Would you chase me down the drain
Or live in your madness?
There's no chance that I'll get worse
There's no chance that I won't hurt
[PreChorus]
Loving your games, playing again
Finding a way to barely escape
I look at your smile, and circle the drain
A beautiful cycle
[Verse 3]
It felt good to know
I let you in my soul
I gave you all control
But I was better before, better before
Better before I met you
[Bridge]
Is it better now?
Do you think you got enough?
Ever wonder why
I never gave it up?
It's so funny how
You ruined me with love
Ain't it funny that
You'll never get enough?
You'll never get enough
You'll never take enough
[Chorus]
It felt good to know
I let you in my soul
I gave you all control
But I was better before, better before
Better before I met you
(It felt good to know) Before I met you
(I let you in my soul) But I was better before I met you
Better before I met you
Better before I met you
