For you I could recognize myself
You tore me in two, now I'm someone else
The times you found me weak and took me underneath
I failed to cast aside the voice of disbelief
Come back into these arms, is what you begged of me
Commit to sacrifice, I'm crying to be free
Whoa-oh, didn't they try to tell me?
No-oh, they can't hear me now
Before you I recognized myself
You tore me in two, now I'm someone else
Who can't go on, not the way you do
'Cause I'm falling, turning black and blue
Before you, I believed
The fire and light you choked and drowned inside of me
In toxic waves as far as naked eyes could see
I'd give anything to get it all back now that it's too far gone
And everyone talks but nobody knows the shadow that I've become
Before you I recognized myself
You tore me in two, now I'm someone else
Who can't go on, not the way you do
'Cause I'm falling, turning black and blue
Before you
No one, nowhere, nothing left to turn to
No more trying to fight for souls to burn through
Behind forsaken skies, behind these clouded eyes
There was no place to hide away from you
With every step and stride to get away
My foolish heart and useless brain
Before you I could recognize myself
You tore me in two, now I'm someone else
Before you I could recognize myself
You tore me in two, and now I'm someone else
Who can't go on, not the way you do
'Cause I'm falling, turning black and blue
Before you, I believed
