BEFORE LOVE CAME TO KILL US - Jessie Reyez

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

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

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

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

'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

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

Under the mask of the moon

Could we dance in the past?

Before love, mmm

Before love

Before love came to kill us
