After the Magic

[Verse] Way back then Before the beginning of the end Before we gave the cards the chance to play us When I didn't need the glasses Back when magic wasn't magic And it was just the way we thought the world was I loved you Not just for your charms I knew Even though I wanted you 'Cause you had a voice I trusted It wasn't always pleasant And it was the only thing that told me what was what was Way back then [Pre-Chorus] Before the plan came undone Before the spell came unsung Before the door closed The heart broke Before the dawn Before the joke [Chorus] Way back then You were real and true You were flesh and blood and bone You were a palace and a throne Way back then You were more than just a muse You were never meant to lose You were everything and more [Verse 2] Way back then Before we left and let them win Before we turned the lights and said "It's over" Before we put our guard up Before we ever broke up Before the magic died and we grew older Way back then Before you started on this bend Before you sold your heart again Before the new You know what I mean Before the glass and the sheen Before the only thing you had was the you that used to be [Pre-Chorus] Before the plan came undone Before the spell came unsung Before the door closed The heart broke Before the dawn Before the joke [Chorus] Way back then You were real and true You were flesh and blood and bone You were a palace and a throne Way back then You were more than just a muse You were never meant to lose You were everything and more
