"I Get It Now" lyrics

Looking back on the people that slipped through my hands
Too lost in myself to understand
"Lonely" was a word I didn't know much about
I get it now

Walking down the same street where we first met
I'm a different man but I can't tell you that
All the times I tried to call
And you never came 'round
Yeah, well, I get it now

And it's hard drinking alone
It's hard thinking
You don't know that I know that I let you down
Yeah

I can't listen to love songs
Every line is about
What I couldn't say out loud
I get it now
Didn't know what love was
Until I lost it somehow
Yeah, but I get it now
I get it now

Sitting on this couch where we talked for so long
Everything looks different now that you're gone
All the things you told me just before you walked out
Yeah, well, I get it now

And it's hard drinking alone
It's hard thinking
You don't know that I know that I let you down
Yeah

I can't listen to love songs
Every line is about
What I couldn't say out loud
I get it now
Didn't know what love was
Until I lost it somehow
Yeah, but I get it now
I get it now

After all the pages I've turned
And all the lessons I've learned
Only hurt 'cause I can't do anything about it
Turn around and see you right there
Nothing I can say so I stare
At a ghost
Someone I used to know

Can't listen to love songs
Every line is about
What I couldn't say out loud
I get it now
Didn't know what love was
Until I lost it somehow
Yeah, but I get it now
I get it now

Oh, and I can't dance to love songs
Not without you around
No, I can't stand the sound
If you're not in the crowd
Didn't know what love was
Lost it somehow
Yeah, but I get it now
I get it now
