I Knew You Once Lyrics

Our creaking bones,
just go to show,
how old we've become.
Young love is for brittle hearts,
the tattered lungs, all wide eyed
and wounded arms.

Oh I knew you once.
For a night we shared skin and wore out our lungs.
Under street lights you were something to believe in.
Blurry eyed, but fuck it, I was living.

I'm weary on your mind.
You're a sore sight, for these young eyes.
I took whats mine.
Left you behind, when I lost all the fight.

Oh I knew you once.
For a night we shared skin and wore out our lungs.
Under bar light you were something to believe in.
Blurry eyed, but fuck it, we're still breathing.

I found a new way, of making the same mistakes.

I went to the metal bar.
I was searching for a feeling.
Crawled through shit dives,
I did it for the healing.
You were a blur when I met the streets again,
lost and lonely and begging, for something to believe in.

Oh I knew you once.
For a night we shared skin and wore out our lungs.
Under street lights you were something to believe in.
Blurry eyed, but fuck it, I'm still breathing.

I found a new way, of making the same mistakes.
I found a new way, of making the same mistakes.
