[Verse 1] Before… we shared the same pillow, whispered soft in the night Your heartbeat in the dark made the whole world feel right Now this bed feels colder, and the silence bites Tears move in like a storm that won’t leave my sight I miss the before… when love felt like home Now I’m just surviving in this after alone [Chorus] Before and after… how did we lose our way? The woman I was slowly faded away Why does my heart ache for those warmer days? When I wasn’t empty and lost in this maze… Oh, I miss the before… in this after haze [Verse 2] Before… a promise was sacred, and your touch was true You would stand beside me like I dreamed you would do Now words cut deeper than they ever should do And every sharp memory is bruising me blue I miss the before… when love still had tone Now it feels like I’m clinging to dust and to bone [Chorus] Before and after… how did we lose our way? The woman I was slowly faded away Why does my heart break for the life I once knew? When I felt protected… and the sky was still blue… [Bridge] I still see a light in the eyes of the girl I remember The letters, the late nights, the hope that she’d never surrender Maybe one day I’ll find my way back again… From the before… to a softer after, amen [Final Chorus] Before and after… my world’s not the same But deep in my soul I still whisper your name Oh, heart of mine… come back to before Let the after be kinder… than the hurt I endure… Oh, I miss the before… I miss the before…
