Anna Pancaldi - Before You Lyrics

You got through
You called out to my courage
It's been a while
Sitting in this quiet
But I stretched out my feelings
As they moved they pushed me towards you

I got ahead of myself
And that's all good and well
If you actually get what you want

I wanted you to want me
But it would have been too good to be true
So I pretend that I don't want you
As I fade out of view
Back to where I was before you

I said it out loud
And you bowed out politely
It's at my expense
So typical that I am left
With the consequence
Of the honesty, I have laid bare

I got ahead of myself
And that's all good and well
If you actually get what you want

I wanted you to want me
But it would have been too good to be true
So I pretend that I don't want you
As I fade out of view
Back to where I was before you

Speaking from my solitude
It's only days I want from you
That you might come to know me more
But I filled the gaps
You occupied
Affirming that of course I'm right
That you don't, you don't, you don't

You don't want me
But it would have been too good to be true
So I pretend that I don't want you
As I fade out of view
Back to where I was
I wanted you to want me
But it would have been too good to be true
So I pretend that I don't want you
As I fade out of view
Back to where I was
Back to who I was
Back to where I was before you"
