Slowly then suddenly Lyrics

Hey baby, been seeing you everywhere lately
If somebody watched me, baby
They'd swear I was following you
Or maybe you're outrunning me

It's been so bad for so long
I can't pinpoint just where it all went wrong
I lost you
Wait, I remember now
Something about I couldn't stop messing around

I lost you

I lost you two ways
First slowly, then suddenly
Slowly we grew apart
And suddenly you left me
With almost everything that I thought I wanted
But I found out I wanted you
Slowly then Suddenly

Hey baby, I've never seen you look better
Not when we were together, baby
I caught a dangerous crush on the day that you left me

Why does it have to hurt so bad when you get what you want
And you want what you had?
I lost you
When everything kind of works out right
Gotta find a new reason not to sleep at night
I lost you

I lost you two ways
First, painfully slowly
You slipped through my fingers and I didn't even notice
The bitter end comes suddenly from out of nowhere
I lost it all when I lost you
Slowly then Suddenly

How many bad decisions come right after saying, "Fuck It"?
I don't know, but here I go right through your window
You'll be waiting there, I know
Waiting up
I know you'll be waiting there

I'm coming on like a heart attack
Like a big train running and I can't turn back
The words taste better when they come out wrong
I lost you

I lost you two ways
First slowly, then suddenly
Slowly we grew apart
And suddenly you left me
With almost everything that I thought I wanted
How'd I get back here in your room?
Slowly then Suddenly
