Before I Even Had You Lyrics by Dave McPherson

The Hardship Diaries

0

Trying to think before I speak
But sometimes I think that all of this awkward silence needs to be filled up
Boy meets girl, girl likes boy
Boy acts foolish in the mornings
Because he doesn't want anything to go wrong
I want to stay here and I don't want to play any games
I just want to hang out, hang out with you all day, it's that simple
I wear my heart on my sleeve, I know I'm nervous and I have a rival
Some days I'm an extrovert
But, baby, you're turning me into an introvert
I'm only acting nervous 'cause I like you
A mixture of confidence and insecurity all wash over me
I'm only acting stupid 'cause I'm scared of losing you before I even had you
Swallow my pride, little hiccups
You won't see me again and you don't like my stumbles
The way I mumble in shame
I'm going to make you an offer you'll probably refuse but I've got nothing to lose
Baby, you make me sick in the best way, in the best way
I could play it cool
Like I said, I don't want to play games
But I won't name names but I've done it before
And someone always gets hurt
Someone always gets hurt in their pursuit of what it is we all seek
Some days I'm an extrovert
But, baby, you're turning me into an introvert
I'm only acting nervous 'cause I like you
A mixture of confidence and insecurity all wash over me
I'm only acting stupid 'cause I'm scared of losing you before I even had you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Boy meets girl, girl likes boy
But this is the hard bit where he cares too much
Some days I'm an extrovert
But, baby, you're turning me into an introvert
I'm only acting nervous 'cause I like you
A mixture of confidence and insecurity all wash over me
I'm only acting stupid 'cause I'm scared of losing you before I even had you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
