[Verse 1] I saw you for the first time, And my world just froze in place, A smile that felt like fire, But I never saw your face. I asked you without a word, But you just turned and walked away, Didn’t know it then, But my heart would never be the same. [Pre-Chorus] You had her by your side, And I was just a distant thought, But your eyes, they met mine, Like something we both never forgot. [Chorus] Before you, I was whole, But with you, I lost control, And after you, I’m still here, Trying to forget what’s so clear, But I’m stuck in the echo of you, In the before and after you. [Verse 2] Every time I tried to move on, Your shadow pulled me back in, Your friends whispered my name, Like you were hoping for something to begin. I watched you from afar, Jealousy burned inside, But I told myself I was fine, Even when I couldn't hide. [Pre-Chorus] You asked about me, you said my name, But it felt like another game, I tried to forget but it never stuck, 'Cause you made me feel like I was enough. [Chorus] Before you, I was whole, But with you, I lost control, And after you, I’m still here, Trying to forget what’s so clear, But I’m stuck in the echo of you, In the before and after you. [Bridge] And now you’re fading from my sight, But every step, I hear your light, I let you go, but you’re still here, The memories don’t disappear. [Chorus] Before you, I was whole, But with you, I lost control, And after you, I’m still here, Trying to forget what’s so clear, But I’m stuck in the echo of you, In the before and after you. [Outro] Before, after... you. Before, after... you. I was enchanted, But I was always too late.
