Before My Time

I don't know if I can explain it 
 'cause there's really nothin' different at all. 
 The sun still burns, 
 the earth still turns 
 and the winter still follows the fall. 
 I knew that it wouldn't be easy 
 for my heart to find somebody new 
 but I never thought it still would be 
 broken in two these years after you. 

 The tell me time is a natural healer 
 it kind of smooths the pain away. 
 But this hurtin' within hasn't yet given in 
 and it's been over two thousand days. 
 I still remember the taste of your kisses 
 and your eyes that were beautifully blue 
 and I can still hear the sound of your voice 
 when you said we were through 
 these years after you. 

 (Chorus) 
 Years after, years after you 
 I'm still cryin' 
 Tears after, years after you 
 I'm still tryin' to make it through 
 these years after you. 
  

 There've been mornin's when I couldn't wake up 
 There've been evenin's when I couldn't sleep 
 My life would be fine for months at a time 
 then I'll break down and cry for a week. 
 'Cause when I told you I'd love you forever 
 I know you didn't think it was true 
 but forever is nothin' compared to some 
 nights I've been through 
 in these years after you. 

 (Chorus) 
 Years after, years after you 
 I'm still cryin' 
 Tears after, years after you 
 I'm still tryin' to make it through 
 these years after you. 

 Years after, years after you 
 I'm still cryin' 
 Tears after, years after you 
 I'm still tryin' to make it through 
 these years after you. 

 Years after, years after you 
 I'm still cryin' 
 Tears after, years after you 
 I'm still tryin' to make it through 
 these years after you.
