Before I Knew Ya Lyrics by Maddy Newton

My Turn - EP

2016

[Verse 1]
You've heard the story a thousand times
Boy meets girl and worlds collide
You forget everything that you are
When you make up your mind with your heart
Now, I might be strong but I'll admit
I thought you were the one, thought this was it
You were just playing along
And I guess I was wrong
[Chorus]
I wish I'd known before I knew ya
Wouldn't have fallen right into ya
Would've skipped to the last chapter first
Listened to every single world
But you didn't tell me you would leave me
Forgot to mention, it wouldn't be easy
To get to the getting over you
I wish I'd known before I knew ya, knew ya
[Verse 2]
From the start until the end
Was it ever more than just pretend?
Cause you know that you'd let me down
Must've left that part out
[Chorus]
I wish I'd known before I knew ya
Wouldn't have fallen right into ya
Would've skipped to the last chapter first
Listened to every single world
But you didn't tell me you would leave me
Forgot to mention, it wouldn't be easy
To get to the getting over you
I wish I'd known before
[Bridge]
I gave all I had, and got nothing back
Boy, you don't know what you've done
If I would've known what I know now
I would have run, run, run
[Chorus]
I wish I'd known before I knew ya
Wouldn't have fallen right into ya
Would've skipped to the last chapter first
Listened to every single world
But you didn't tell me you would leave me
Forgot to mention, it wouldn't be easy
To get to the getting over you
I wish I'd known before I knew ya, knew ya
[Outro]
I wish I'd known before I knew ya
