Different By Now - David Morreale

Saw myself two years ago, and I was someone else Back then I loved just like a carousel So many faces going in and out That's the way it felt Like a distant sort of conversation of you and I You and I Feels like I'm running from my reputation every night Every night 'Cause I've lived different lives, different lives Before you ever made me feel alive, feel alive I haven't felt this fucking terrified, terrified Before you, ooh, you, ooh Those were different times, different times You're not the one, I was at 25, drunk and high Those are all the lives I left behind, left behind for you, ooh, you, ooh I see it now (see it now) Few years ahead, it's only you around (you around) Hopped off the wave that kept me watered down (watered down) And left the old me in a different town Somewhere it can't be found Like a distant sort of conversation, I try to hide from you, and I Feels like I'm closer to a revelation every night Every night 'Cause I've lived different lives, different lives Before you ever made me feel alive, feel alive I haven't felt this fucking terrified, terrified Before you, ooh, you, ooh Those were different times, different times You're not the one, I was at 25, drunk and high Those are all the lives I left behind, left behind for you, ooh, you, ooh I've lived different lives, different lives Before you ever made me feel alive, feel alive I haven't felt this fucking terrified, terrified Before you, before you ooh, you, ooh Those were different times, different times You're not the one, I was at 25, drunk and high Those are all the lives I left behind, left behind for you, ooh, you, ooh

You ought to know by now Baby when our hearts awoke Think of all the rules we broke In the name of love we hoped Little did we know Darling all the time we spent Ignoring all the consequences And hiding from big evidence Hoping things would change But the yearning grew like the loneliness of a castaway To be near to you was the only thing in my heart each day Keeping me alive till your rescue came Honey you mean everything to me You ought to know by now Love means everything You ought to know by now Only love can bring happiness Wishful thinking spent in vain What to loose and what to gain All the guilt and all the pain seemed to come away And baby when our hearts awoke Think of all the rules we broke In the name of love we spoke Little did we know But the hope was there Like a ray of sun on a cloudy day Any change from impossibility to the only way Love can conquer all And its here to stay Honey you mean everything to me You ought to know by now Love means everything You ought to know by now Only love can bring happiness You ought to know by now Love means everything You ought to know by now Only love can bring happiness You ought to know by now You ought to know by now You ought to know by now You ought to know by now

Say what you want, what you want tonight (I'm gonna say my peace, is that alright?) Yeah, that's alright, that's alright When you gonna find a new approach? (But I get my words stuck in my throat) You better know by now, know by now, you know My diamond in the rough You come undone, you come undone, you have I think we've had enough You come undone, you come undone, you have You come undone (I'll be there) You come undone (you'll be fine) You come undone (you're too scared to stare down the barrel of a gun) You come undone, you have (it's mine) I don't really mean to bother you (But you hold my heart, can't you see it through?) Well, don't be shy (sure, I can try) Don't you wanna run, wanna run away? (I'm gonna have to hurt you anyway) You'd think I'd know by now, I know by now, I know I don't wanna live this way (I don't wanna see that face) Get worse every single day (make a fool out of me) Do you have a minute? Just forget it Someone has a lot to say (and because I don't agree) Wanted you because you wanted me (always like the honesty) Just say you want a lot (say you want a lot, say you want a lot) Say you want a lot (I want a lot) Say you want a lot (I want a lot) Say you want a lot (I want a lot) I'm here but I cannot see, I'll stand with you next to me My heart is a reverie, woke up from a pleasant dream You said that you wouldn't go, I'd leave too, I don't know Half-dead like a radio, I'm here but I wanna go You said that you wanna stay, go be with her anyway Half-dead on a holiday, makes sense when you say that way I think we've had enough You come undone, you come undone, you have
