When I Had You

VerseJust like a fool, I rocked in the coast to the moon Probably should′ve second-guessed my every move Playin' a clown all over town Wishin′ I could make my family proud But I understand why they're not Got busy playin' a cocktail like a card Guess that′s why they say don′t try to be somethin' you′re not Pre-chorusAnd I can't seem to escape this hell for myself here Wishin′ I could go back to a time when ChorusI was a little less this much of a master Workin' in some heavy daylight Way back before the liquor was a curse Didn′t live, I forgot, had nothin' to lose Way back when, when I had you When I had you VerseAnd I hate the way my brain changes the way things change But when I'm trippin′ on toxins and I can barely breathe It′s the only time when I could ever let things be Pre-chorusI can't seem to escape this hell for myself here Wishin′ I could go back to a time when ChorusI was a little less this much of a master Workin' in some heavy daylight Way back before the liquor was a curse Didn′t live, I forgot, had nothin' to lose Way back when, when I had you When I had you
