Before I Knew

Oh, it was the first time I fell in love,

the first time I felt my heart.

It was the first time I sang out loud, all through the night.

But before I knew it, I was lost,

before I knew I was a prisoner,

and I still can't find a way to make it right.

Whatever it was that made you wrong

I want to find it and to put it far

and I follow every road that goes too far

and my arms are heavy and my words are wrong

my worried heart can only wait so long

and I always find a way to fall apart

though your heart is still unspoken

and know its fallen like I have done

And every lie I've told I hold it here unbroken

Oh, I may never find another one

Oh, it was the first time I fell in love

the first time I felt my heart

was the first time I sang out loud all through the night

but before I knew it I was lost,

before I knew I was a prisoner

and I'll never find a way to make it right
