Before It Started Lyrics by Dylan J

4 Songs I Made In California - EP

2022

[Verse 1]
We should've stood our ground
We should've held it down
'Cause nobody's wanna fight
About to throwin' in the towel
I can't help but think about
If there was a way around
But we let it fade away
Guess it doesn't matter now

[Refrain]
I know this feeling only comes from someone you know
And the day that we met wasn't that long ago
But love has no limits so here's what I wrote
The night we let this disappear

[Chorus]
I hate that this was over before it started
I hid what we'll ever know right under the carpet
Why doеs the part of givin' up feel the hardest?
I had a crazy feeling, wе could've lasted
I hate that this was over before it started

[Verse 2]
We should've stood our ground
We should've held it down
Taught me how to feel the peace
Taught me how to love myself
I can't help but think about
If there was a way around
Yeah, I'm countin' down the days
That you're with somebody else

[Refrain]
I know this feeling only comes from someone you know
And the day that we met wasn't that long ago
But love has no limits so here's what I wrote
The night we let this disappear

[Bridge]
Just pulled up together, man, gotta be tough
Look at you love, you got more than enough
Just tryin' to ignore when they go in the club
There's plenty of honeys and you'll find the one
I'm tellin' you this, girl, it's somethin' you need
Ain't even know this [?] up to be
More that I say it, the less I believe
My heart is [?] somethin' that we won't know
We'll never know

[Chorus]
I hate that this was over before it started
I hid what we'll ever know right under the carpet
Why does the part of givin' up feel the hardest?
I had a crazy feeling, we could've lasted
I hate that this was over before it started (Before we started)
I hate that this was over before it started

[Outro]
I hate that this was over before it started
