Billy Raffoul - What Lovers Do

Copied!

{Verse 1}
I wouldn't have loved you had I known
What it's like when you are gone
Now I don't recognize your road
And it's a longer drive home

{Pre-Chorus}
I'm supposed to hate you
I'm supposed to want to curse your name
But I don't feel that way

{Chorus}
These were the best years of my whole life
And I owe them all to you
Wish you well, I'm thinking I just might
Isn't that what lovers do?
Isn't that what lovers do?

{Verse 2}
Cut my hair and change my clothes
Rearrange the icons on my phone
So that I'm not on patrol
There's nothing wrong with moving on

{Pre-Chorus}
How am I supposed to hate you?
How am I supposed to want to curse your name?
When I don't feel that way

{Chorus}
These were the best years of my whole life
And I owe them all to you
Wish you well, I'm thinking I just might
Isn't that what lovers do?
Isn't that what lovers do?
Isn't that what lovers do?
Isn't that what lovers do?

Billy Raffoul was born on June 7, 1994, in Leamington, Ontario, Canada, and has always had a passion for music. His father, Jody Raffoul, is a solo artist, so it's no surprise that music runs in the family.

After performing some original songs for producers during a studio session, Billy's talent was recognized, leading him to his now-manager who used to work with Kid Rock.

In May 2017, Billy released his debut single "Driver," which garnered attention and set him on the path to success. He continued to make waves in the music industry with collaborations with EDM producers Avicii and Kygo. In June 2018, Billy released his first EP titled "1975," featuring singles such as "I'm Not a Saint," "Could You Be Mine?" and "Forever."

Following the success of his first EP, Billy released his second EP, "The Running Wild," in April 2019.
