All the Befores

Thought I could make it without you

Thought I could walk away

And never look back

Thought I had the secret

To stop these eyes from crying

Told myself he were no good

So what's the need in trying

But as you see, here

I amLoving you stronger than ever

Promising to be better, getting into my head

I don't know how to be nothing but yours

I guess I should have learned

From all the befores

I wrote a nice long letter

Explaining my reasons for leaving

Hoping it would tear you apart

And leave you grieving

I bet you didn't even read it

You're so familiar with the lines

You just glanced up at the clock'

Cause you knew the exact time

I'd knockWithout pride, here

I standWaiting for your forgiveness

This is where

I belongCome what may, this time

I'll stayYou might as well lock all the doors

I guess I should have learned

From all the befores

Promising to be better

And getting into my head

I don't know how to be nothing but yours

I guess I should have learned

From all the befores
