"Before Your Love"


I wonder how I ever made it through the day 
How did I settle for a world in shades of gray? 
When you go in circles all the scenery looks the same 
And you don't know how 
And I looked into your eyes 
With the world stretched out in front of me and I realized 
I never lived before your love 
I never felt before your touch 
I never needed anyone to make me feel alive 
But then again, I wasn't really living 
I never lived before your love 

I wanted more than just an ordinary life 
All of my dreams seemed like castles in the sky 
I stand before you when my heart was in your hands 
And I don't know how 
I survived without your kiss 
'Cause you've given me a reason to exist 

I never lived before your love 
I never felt before your touch 
I never needed anyone to make me feel alive 
But then again, I wasn't really living 
I never lived 
I never lived before your love 
I never lived before your love 

And I don't know why 
Why the sun decides to shine 
But you breathed your love into me just in time 

I never lived before your love 
I never felt before your touch 
I never needed anyone to make me feel alive 
But then again, I wasn't really living 
I never lived 
I never lived before your love
