For you I could recognize myself

You tore me in two, now I'm someone else

The times you found me weak and took me underneath

I failed to cast aside the voice of disbelief

Come back into these arms, is what you begged of me

Commit to sacrifice, I'm crying to be free

Whoa-oh, didn't they try to tell me?

No-oh, they can't hear me now

Before you I recognized myself

You tore me in two, now I'm someone else

Who can't go on, not the way you do

'Cause I'm falling, turning black and blue

Before you, I believed

The fire and light you choked and drowned inside of me

In toxic waves as far as naked eyes could see

I'd give anything to get it all back now that it's too far gone

And everyone talks but nobody knows the shadow that I've become

Before you I recognized myself

You tore me in two, now I'm someone else

Who can't go on, not the way you do

'Cause I'm falling, turning black and blue

Before you

No one, nowhere, nothing left to turn to

No more trying to fight for souls to burn through

Behind forsaken skies, behind these clouded eyes

There was no place to hide away from you

With every step and stride to get away

My foolish heart and useless brain

Before you I could recognize myself

You tore me in two, now I'm someone else

Before you I could recognize myself

You tore me in two, and now I'm someone else

Who can't go on, not the way you do

'Cause I'm falling, turning black and blue

Before you, I believed
