before we were

when i was a child i would get riled

up over little inn sig niif icant things
i hate now what i did
and the evil had no liiiid
for when i was a child
all ten (hinote) der and mild
i acted like (nearspeak) a kid

that was before i say

but you bring it up again

that was before i say

its a brand new day
but i repeat the sin

when i was a child i acted like a child

but i just reply
with a gleam in my eye
'that was before we were men'

i find myself lookin4 urself, lookin for a cause

that can not be, the way that you see, b'cuz ur seein all my flaws
ev ery night, i shut out the light, and you wake me from afar
i cant let you see...
what i can hardly bear
i need now to be free
but honey we can share

(slow part)
i thought that
you had fotgotten
its tossed from east to west

i have failed you

i know im rotten
at least i was the best

that was before

oooo
that was before
oooooo
that was before
before we were men

oh god oh god the things you do

oh god the things ive done
if i cant be perfect to you
ill repent to meet your son

(end with musical reprise)

very much a work in progress

i know its generic garbage
but i start with these
prob'ly add some verses
Please Don't Steal, even if you like it.
If you like it, tell me and we can work out a deal.

PPS I think the wake me up verse can be misconstrued.

It's not that way.
