[Verse 1]
I've spent a long time in your daydream
Now you’ve become what you said you would never be
Your mind is focused on the game now
The man he's taken all your shame now
But every inch of me still wants you
In every dream, I'm taken back to you
You keep a low [?]
It’s such a shame now, oh no
[Chorus]
But I was there before the fame, love
I was there before the game, love
All you get now is their fake love, yeah
And I was there before you changed, love
I was there before the fame, love
All you get now is their fake love, oh
[Verse 2]
We danced before the [?] was binding
They only want you 'cause you're climbing
Your lonely place you know you can't withstand alone
Don't lose your way now, oh no
No, they ain't seen this dark side of you
And they won't ever know you like I do
Don't underestimate the depths of your despair
’Cause they won’t hear you, oh no
[Chorus]
But I was there before the fame, love
I was there before the game, love
All you get now is their fake love, yeah
And I was there before you changed, love
I was there before the fame, love
All you get now is their fake love, oh
[Bridge]
You twist your words 'round, so I’ll save your place
I can't bare the look, the look on your face
Like a turning tide, we both know you'll lose your mind
When you realise, babe
[Chorus]
That I was there before the fame, love
I was there before the game, love
All you get now is their fake love, yeah
And I was there before you changed, love
I was there before the fame, love
All you get now is their fake love, oh
And I was there before you changed, love
I was there before the fame, love
All you get now is their fake love, oh
