 I can't  get you out of the sunlight
  I can't  get you out of the rain
  I can't  get you back to that one  time
  Cause you  and me are still recovering
 So let's just try  to cool it down
 The fighting  is feeding the flames
 So let's try  to slow it down
 We crash when we race
 Oh this  is not the way that it should end
 It's the way it should begin
 It's the way it should begin  again
 No,  I never wanna fall apart
 Never wanna break your heart
 Never wanna let you break  my own
 Yes,  I know we said a lot of things
 That we probably didn't mean
 But it's not too late to take  them back
 So,  before you say you're gonna go
 I should probably let you know
 That I never knew what  I had
 I never knew what  I had
 See I  look for you in the morning
  'Cause that's  when my mind always  goes
  And I  can't wait to get to the evening
  'Cause that's  when I want you the most
 So let's just try  to cool it down
 The fighting  is feeding the flames
 So let's try  to slow it down
 We crash when we race
 Oh this  is not the way that it should end
 It's the way it should begin
 It's the way it should begin  again
 No,  I never wanna fall apart
 Never wanna break your heart
 Never wanna let you break  my own
 Yes,  I know we said a lot of things
 That we probably didn't mean
 But it's not too late to take  them back
 So,  before you say you're gonna go
 I should probably let you know
 That I never knew what  I had
 I never knew what  I had
 But I know it now
 I wish I would've known before  how good  we were
 Or is it too late  to come back  or is it really over
 Cause if  it's really over
 Then this  is not the way that it should end
 It's the way it should begin
 It's the way it should begin  again
 No,  I never wanna fall apart
 Never wanna break your heart
 Never wanna let you break  my own
 Yes,  I know we said a lot of things
 That we probably didn't mean
 But it's not too late to take  them back
 So,  before you say you're gonna go
 I should probably let you know
 That I never knew what  I had
 I never knew what  I had
 I never knew what  I had
 I never knew what  I had
 I never knew what  I had
I  never knew,  but I'm telling you
 I never knew
