BEFORE YOU MET ME
copyright 2007 john common music

it's an ugly morning
bruised and weeping
every cliché is coming true

you knew I was broken
and you tried to fix me
impossible to do

I was gone before you met me

when things got rocky
we bailed the water
and we both drowned
without a clue

I let you float away
what was I thinking
letting go of you

you turned the corner
that makes me happy
'cause moving on
is what we do
