Got to Me Since
Izaak Opatz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wouldn’t do this if it could be helped
I’d rather never see you again
But I miss loving someone and you’re the only one who ever
Really held my heart in your hand

Because no one’s really got to me since
No one’s really got to me since

No one’s really got to me, since you got to me
No one’s really got to me since

I just keep going back and forth
I don’t want to make the same mistakes any more
I’d rather not know you than to have to go through
What I did, but I will, if you just say the word, I will

Because no one’s really got to me since
No one’s really got to me since
No one’s really got to me, since you got to me
No one’s really got to me since

Baby, I just want to be passionate again
No one’s really made the hairs on my heart stand up on
Stand up on end

You’re the one that I sing about
But all of my songs are down and out
When I’m somebody else and someone pulls a guitar out
I have to pretend I don’t know how

Because no one’s really got to me since
No one’s really got to me since
No one’s really got to me, since you got to me
No one’s really got to me since

Baby, I just want to be passionate again
No one’s really made the hairs on my heart stand up on
Stand up on end

Because no one’s really got to me since
No one’s really got to me since

No one’s really got to me, since you got to me
No one’s really got to me since
