Before

Time changes everything
who we are
who we used to be
memories

Looking back I thought we'd last
through it all
overcome the past
I couldn't see


And now that you're gone
I don't know who I miss more
You, or the person I was before


It's hard to forget
the way things were
the feelings from before
memories

My eyes focus back
on what we had
before things got bad
remembering


And now that you're gone
I don't know who I miss more
You, or the person I was before


My laugh
My light
even my smile
I don't know where they've gone

I may have been broken
But I won't let permanent happen
I'm gonna find that girl


And since you've been gone
I found out who I miss more
It's not you
It's the person I was before
It's the person I was before
I hope you miss the person I was before.
