Before You Knew Me

(album: McBusted - 2014)

Take a seat
There's something I should tell you
I don't wanna scare you
It's hard for me
You deserve my honesty

I'm trying to be responsible
You need to understand it's
Not the way I planned this
Not at all
Are you sitting comfortable

This is gonna be difficult
It's not easy to say
I wouldn't want you to take it the wrong way

I liked you better before you knew me
You were the girl next door
But you're not anymore it's freaky
You were Hannah Montana
Now you're licking things like Miley
You were cinematic
Now I made you a TV movie
In 2D
So lose me
Coz you were better before you knew me

I'm totally the one to blame
I have known for ages
I must be contagious
We're the same
And I'm the one that made you lame

Every time I look at you
I see my reflection
Covering perfection
It is such a bummed out view
Seeing what you turned into

This is gonna be difficult
But it has to be said
Everyone wants the old you back instead

I liked you better before you knew me
You were high definition
Now you're barely 720
You were a health fanatic
Now you're a Ben & Jerry's junkie
You were all about positions
Now you're stuck in missionary
But rarely
So lose me
I liked you better before you knew me

It's not too late for you
Move on to someone new
Stop doing things that I would do
Turns out my ignorance
Sucks as an influence
So run baby while you've got the chance

You were better before you knew me
You were S Club 7
Now you look like a Slipknot groupie
We were Brangelina
Now we're looking more like Speidi (like Speidi)
You were a peace corps hippy
Now you're playing Call of Duty nightly
And hungry for newbies

I liked you better before you knew me
You were the girl next door
But you're not anymore it's freaky
You were high definition
Now you're barely 720
You were Oooops I Did It
But now you're like a shaven Britney
So leave me
I'm sorry
I liked you better before you knew me
