Jessie Reyez Before Love Came To Kill Us Lyrics

[Intro]
Mmm

[Verse 1]
Love you in the worst way
You knock me down like a heavyweight, oh
We fell in love, got a K-O, oh no
Too damn young, so we broke up, no-go
So much for a wedding date, ha

[Pre-Chorus]
I know nobody gets outta love alive
We either breakup when we're young
Or we say goodbye when we die
For a moment at least
I know you were mine and it was beautiful
But winter comes and roses don't survive
It's getting late, and I should go

[Chorus]
But I wanna hold you
Like it's June in the West End
Back when you were my best friend
Before love came to kill us
We're not supposed to
But I can't learn my lesson
I miss when you were my best friend
Before love came to kill us
So under the mask of the moon
Could we dance in the past?
Before love
Before love came to kill us
[Verse 2]
Life's good and I'm getting paid, mmm
But I think about you everyday, oh no, still When I miss you, I medicate (Pour up, drink, drink)
Tears come out like a renegade, ah

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause nobody gets outta love alive
We either breakup when we're young
Or we say goodbye when we die
For a moment at least
I know you were mine and it was beautiful
But winter comes and roses don't survive
It's getting late, and I should go

[Chorus]
But I wanna hold you
Like it's June in the West End
Back when you were my best friend
Before love came to kill us
We're not supposed to
But I can't learn my lesson (No, I can't)
I miss when you were my best friend (Yes, I do)
Before love came to kill us
So under the mask of the moon
Could we dance in the past?
Before love
Before love
[Outro]
Under the mask of the moon
Could we dance in the past?
Before love, mmm
Before love
Before love came to kill us
