Before

Before me, you weren't you,
and before you, I wasn't me,
before we were us
there was neither of us,
there was neither of us,
 
Before you were part of me,
before I knew you
you weren't you and I wasn't me
it seems it was before yesterday
it seems it was before yesterday
 
Before anything else
I want to clarify
that it's not that I was having a bad time before
(I wasn't having a bad time... before)
 
But something about me, I didn't see before
until you showed it to me,
something about you, I want to believe
no one saw before me
no one saw before me
 
After all,
what I want to say is,
I don't understand how I could live
before
I don't understand how I could live before
I don't understand how I could live before
I don't understand how I could live
 
Before me, you weren't you,
and before you, I wasn't me,
before we were us
there was neither of us,
 
Before you were part of me,
before I knew you,
you weren't you and I wasn't me
it seems it was before yesterday
it seems it was before yesterday
 
Before I go,
I should say:
I also thought I was happy
before
(but)
I don't understand how I could live before...
