How It Was Before Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Monday everything was good
Tuesday I heard some bad news on the TV silver screen
The static came on
I watched it unfold
From my living room

[Chorus]
I want it all to go back to how it was before
Sunshine 'n parks with my best friends
Now we sit and cough on the train platform
You’ll never see me again
Art is dead

[Verse 2]
Wednesday the crown came crashing down on us
Thursday I had my last moment in the place that I grew up in
I never liked school
But it was just sudden to see it go

[Chorus]
I want it all to go back to how it was before
Sunshine 'n parks with my best friends
Now we sit and cough on the train platform
You'll never see me again
Art is dead
[Bridge]
I’m worried to death about my grandparents
I haven't seen them in years

[Chorus]
I want it all to go back to how it was before
Flower crowns with my best friends
Now we sit and cough on the train platform
You'll never see me again
Art is dead
Fuck Kanye West
Art is dead, art is dead

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
