He lied he cheated till he broke your heart

And you can't count the teardrops you've cried

He made you afraid to make a new start and that's why you've never tried

But that was before my time and darling that's all behind

I'll help you forget in these arms of mine what happened before my time



You've never had someone to love you so strong that nothing else mattered at all

I know you've carried those heartaches too long and now you're afraid to fall

But that was before my time...

What happened before my time
