Lyrics

Before you were here
I was a mess
I spent so many years
Fueling regrets
But then you came around
With your saving grace
And you showed me a world
That didn't need my defenses

Although I must admit
Before our first kiss
I thought about running
But you waited me out
And freed me from doubt
And I never saw this coming.

I didn't know it was wrong
I was lost in a haze
Just blazing my guns
At anyone in the way
I was careless & cold
Without any faith
I thought no one could save me

Yes I wasted my years
On heartaches and tears
But that was the least of my fears
I was there
Before you were here.

At the end of my rope
With blood on my hands
It's been too long to recall
When I
Was still an innocent man

But you made me complete
Put me back on my feet
Taught me to live again
You made it easy to breathe
Swore you wouldn't leave
Reached out to touched my hand.

Although I must admit
Before our first kiss
I thought about running
But you waited me out
And freed me from doubt
And I never saw this coming.

I didn't know it was wrong
I was lost in a haze
Just blazing my guns
At anyone in the way
I was careless & cold
Without any faith
I thought no one could save me
Yes I wasted my years
On heartaches and tears
But that was the least of my fears
I was there
Before you were here.

One of the great things about music is that it lives on forever!!”
