Before
Before I gave in to my lust and sin,
Before I let it take over, before I let it win,
Before he took my confidence and threw it in the trash,
Before I tried to solve things with a single little slash,
Before he used his words to hold and tie me up,
Before I finally said "Enough is enough",
Before I ran away, and finally was set free,
Before I saw the truth, the answer, the key
Before my Hero came and gave me peace and strength,
Before I gained the confidence to soar to great lengths,
Before I ever met him, I sang a beautiful song,
But after all that happened, I'm still standing strong
