Asleep

Before the world end
Before the lies
Before the pretense
I never survived

Before the lonely
Nights and days
Before the words
I never meant to say

Before the disputes
Before the pain
Before the broken glass
Of my window-pane

Before i saw you
In her arms
Before we got caught
In a cold winters storm

Before i loved you
Before you cared
Before being apart
Was my worst nightmare

Before i knew you
Before we met
Before i tried to drown
On the beach at sunset

Before the failure
Before the dreams
Before i knew the world
Isn't what it seems

I dreamed of love
I dreamed of you
I dreamed of holding hands
While on the move

Now here I am
Fast asleep
All because you
Couldn't keep your hands off me
