Before Lyrics

Time alone, holding my own,

And I've been here before.

Away from friends, that'll love me 'till the end,

Until my life runs away from theirs.

All together I remember the music slowed,

You saw right through me, invisible me,

I had to go.

Paris is lonely when I go in spring,

But cities don't leave me out.

A friendship cries even when it survives,

Living off my doubts.

Do you hear me, do you wanna see me succeed?

I'm just figuring it all out.

I want the stars in the sky to smile when I thrive,

I'm doing alright.

Well better than before.

Better than before.

I find it hard to move on,

When nothings gone wrong just feel it in my gut that you never liked my songs.

Saying shit like sober me isn’t as funny,

As 19-year-old Eve bold and unhappy.

Slow saunter up the water to Waverley,

Hugs for me, say you love me,

But you don’t watch me leave.

Paris is lonely when I go in spring,

But cities don't leave me out.

Friendship cries even when it survives,

Living off my doubts.

Do you hear me, do you wanna see me succeed?

I'm just figuring it all out.

I want the stars in the sky to smile when I thrive,

I'm doing alright.

Well, better than before.

Free me from the bad I want everything.

Better than before.

You’re talking too loud, I can’t hear myself sing.

Better than before.

Quiet as a mouse I want everything.

Better than before.

Free from the bad I want everything.
