[Chorus]
I thought that I was dreamin' when you said you loved me
The start of nothing, I had no chance to prepare
I couldn't see you comin'
The start of nothing, ooh, I could hate you now
It's quite alright to hate me now
But we both know that deep down
The feeling still, deep down, is good
[Verse 1]
If I could see through walls, I could see you're fakin'
If you could see my thoughts, you would see our faces
Safe in my rental like an armored truck back then
We didn't give a fuck back then
I ain't a kid no more
We'll never be those kids again
We'd drive to Syd's, had the X6 back then, back then
No matter what I did, my waves wouldn't dip back then
Everything sucked back then, we were friends
[Chorus]
I thought that I was dreamin' when you said you loved me
The start of nothing, I had no chance to prepare
I couldn't see you comin'
The start of nothing, ooh, I could hate you now
It's quite alright to hate me now
But we both know that deep down
The feeling still, deep down, is good
[Verse 2]
In the halls of your hotel
Arm around my shoulder so I could tell
How much I meant to you, meant it sincere back then
We had time to kill back then
You ain't a kid no more
We'll never be those kids again
It's not the same, ivory's illegal
Don't you remember?
I broke your heart last week
You'll probably feel better by the weekend
Still remember, had you going crazy screaming my name
The feeling deep down is good
[Chorus]
I thought that I was dreamin'
When you said you loved me
The start of nothing, I had no chance to prepare
I couldn't see you comin'
The start of nothing, ooh, I could hate you now
It's quite alright to hate me now
When we both know that deep down
The feeling still, deep down, is good
I thought that I was dreamin' when you said you loved me
The start of nothing, I had no chance to prepare
I couldn't see you comin'
The start of nothing, ooh, I could hate you now
It's quite alright to hate me now
But we both know that deep down
The feeling still, deep down, is good
[Verse 1]
If I could see through walls, I could see you're fakin'
If you could see my thoughts, you would see our faces
Safe in my rental like an armored truck back then
We didn't give a fuck back then
I ain't a kid no more
We'll never be those kids again
We'd drive to Syd's, had the X6 back then, back then
No matter what I did, my waves wouldn't dip back then
Everything sucked back then, we were friends
[Chorus]
I thought that I was dreamin' when you said you loved me
The start of nothing, I had no chance to prepare
I couldn't see you comin'
The start of nothing, ooh, I could hate you now
