I was lost in my own little city,
Heart on pause, love wasn’t pretty.
Shadows where the sunlight should be,
Till your eyes came and found me.
Pre-Chorus:
Every wall I built came crashing,
Every lonely night stopped lasting.
I didn’t know what I was missing,
Till you pulled me into your rhythm.
Chorus:
Before you got me, I was only half alive,
Just a quiet echo, waiting for a spark to light.
Now I’m burning brighter than the stars above the sea,
Didn’t know love till you got me — before you got me.
Verse 2:
You took my scars, turned them into art,
Painted colors all over my heart.
Every beat now dances in time,
Like a melody that finally rhymes.
Pre-Chorus:
Every fear I had you’re chasing,
Every dream feels worth embracing.
The world makes sense when you hold me,
And I never wanna be lonely.
Chorus (repeat):
Before you got me, I was only half alive,
Just a quiet echo, waiting for a spark to light.
Now I’m burning brighter than the stars above the sea,
Didn’t know love till you got me — before you got me.
Bridge:
And I don’t ever wanna go back,
To the days before your heart attack (on mine).
Now every step feels like we’re flying,
I found my life when you found mine.
Final Chorus:
Before you got me, I was only half alive,
Now I’m singing louder under neon skies.
You’re the fire that wakes the dreamer up in me,
Didn’t know love till you got me — before you got me.
