Before This

(album: Leaving The End Open - 2009)

It's all the same, but the better part
Standing in the dark, and you know
You know that it's better when I'm standing in solitude
Standing here for you
All alone, you know that I'm here for you
You know that I'm here for you
But sometimes all that I want to do
Is to do it for you, so let's go, let's go on

It's the strangest things
That make me want to scream at every word
Who doesn't believe in what we have
And on, and on, and on, and on

But why'd you have to do this? You had to leave this
Your stupid reasons why you're not around
Cut me to pieces 'cause I don't need this
And all I need is what I had before this

When I look at you in photographs
I want this to last
And you know, you know that I'm
Always on the side that is wanting you
That is rooting for you, and you know
You know that I'm here for you
You know that I'm here for you
This time I think that I need a break, taking this away
All alone, alone

It's the strangest things
That make me want to scream at every word
Who doesn't believe in what we have
And on, and on, and on, and on

But why'd you have to do this? You had to leave this
Your stupid reasons why you're not around
Cut me to pieces 'cause I don't need this
And all I need is what I had before this

It's another case of a waste of time
Turn your head away and I'll take what's mine
Doesn't matter what you say, you're a waste of time
Turn your head away and I'll take what's mine

But why'd you have to do this? You had to leave this
Your stupid reasons why you're not around
Cut me to pieces 'cause I don't need this
And all I need is what I had before this

But why'd you have to do this? You had to leave this
Your stupid reasons why you're not around
Cut me to pieces 'cause I don't need this
And all I need is what I had before this
