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
