Back When You Were Good Lyrics

I told you
Everyone's the same
But it's no use
It's no use
Laying all the blame
At my door
That won't work no more
I've heard it all before
And I,
I see you now
You have changed somehow
And I, I wish I knew you back then
Back when you were good

I know you
Better than you know yourself
And it's no use
You can't buy a new life off a shelf
It wont set you free
You're not fooling me
It's so sad to see
How you've changed your tune
And let go
You're like a vampire
You're soaking with bodies' blood

Oh how I wish I knew you back
When you were good

Back when you were someone
Back when you were good
Back when you were someone
When you were good,
You used to be so alive
You burned so bright
Your stars shined out in the sky

You had it all right in the palm of your hand
And let it fall like a million grains of sand
You went away to a place where nobody knew
Just who you are
And theres no one to answer to
No one to question the person you have become
And what have you done
What have you done
And you have gone to hide somehwere
Yeah you have gone to hide somewhere

i think the beginning and the end to this song is the best.

The beginning has a great piano and guitar intro

Then near the end when it goes "When you were good, you used to be so alive".. the song just changes and becomes awesome

Amazing song
