[Verse 1]
I was smoke without a fire
Just drifting through the days
Collecting little pieces
Of a life in different shades
Alarm at seven thirty
Coffee getting cold
Same songs on repeat
Same stories never told
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought that this was living
That quiet was the same as peace
But everything was missing
And I didn't even see
[Chorus]
My life before you
Was just background noise
A half-written story
Without any voice
Colors barely showing
Heart on low battery
My life before you
Wasn't really me
[Verse 2]
I wore my solitude like armor
Said „I'm fine“ with perfect smile
Knew every crack in every ceiling
Stayed up way too long a while
Friends were mostly echoes
Love felt like a rumor I heard
I was safe but going nowhere
Like a parked and empty car
[Pre-Chorus]
You weren't even coming
But the universe was kind
'Cause something in me whispered
„Wait… your real life starts in time“
[Chorus]
My life before you
Was black & white TV
A demo of a feeling
That never set me free
I was breathing, I was moving
But I wasn't really there
My life before you
Was just empty air
[Bridge]
And then you happened like a power surge
Like summer rain in February
Suddenly the silence had a melody
And all the lonely parts of me
Started learning how to sing
[Last Chorus – softer first, then build]
My life before you…
God, it feels so far away
Like another person's memory
Fading in the light of day
Now every room is warmer
Every heartbeat tells the truth
Thank you for arriving
And waking up my youth
[Outro]
My life before you
Was just rehearsal, love
The real show started
The moment you showed up
