Back When You Were Good Lyrics

I told you, everyone's the same
And 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 see you now, you have changed somehow
And 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 the shelf
It won't set you free
You're not fooling me

It's so sad to see,
How you've changed your tune
And it don't ring true.
You're like a vampire, suck everybody's 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,
Burn so bright: your stars shine out in the sky
You had it all right in the palm of your hand,
Let it fall like a million grains of sand.

You ran away to a place where nobody knew,
Just who you are and there's no-one to answer to,
No-one to question the person you will become,
What have you done, what have you done?

You have gone to hide somewhere,
You have gone to hide somewhere.
