Before The Rain lyrics

Once upon a time there was a story

So unreal, it's hard to tell

No-one seems to understand

Once within my mind, there was a name

That I can't even start to spell

Cause I don't want to break again

All I do and all I am

Everything's because of him

[Chorus:]

My hell, my heart, my honesty

Myself and I, with all of me

I would give him all that I had

But all I had was not enough and

My voice, my eyes will never see

The way they looked and spoke of me

Nowhere I can go to regain

Whatever I was before the rain

Every single time I close my eyes

My mind goes back to where he was

Cause she don't want to understand, no no

Love is not a crime, but it sure feels like doing time

My mind is shut, and she don't wanna let me in no

And all I do and all I am

Everything's because of him

[Chorus]

Whatever I was before the rain

Once upon a time there was a story

So unreal, it's hard to tell

No-one seems to understand, oh

[Chorus]

Oh, oh, oh

Whatever I was before the rain

Whatever I was before the rain
