Lyrics
That Was Before
Lyrics by ©Robin Grimmond 2013
Music by ©Jayson Dyall 2020
Verse
I was always full of hope, the blues would never last
Look forward to my future, and happy with my past
Ready to confront whatever life might have in store
Oh oh But.....that was before
I never hid from trouble, no, I took it on the chin
Any challenges I had to face, I always seemed to win
Didn't hide from adversity, always tough and sure
Oh oh But.....that was before
Chorus
All that was before you came and shook things up
You shattered all my self belief
And now I'm just a shadow of my former self
From this depression I need to get relief
Verse
Life was always kind to me, whatever came my way
I was always looking forward to the start of every day
Whatever life would throw at me, I was ready for and more
Oh oh But.....that was before
So what's the chances of me being like I was again
Of feeling good about myself , not going half insane
Head held high at all times, that feeling to endure
Oh oh, Just like...before
Chorus
All that was before you came and shook things up
You shattered all my self belief
And now I'm just a shadow of my former self
From this depression I need to get relief
Break
Chorus
All that was before you came and shook things up
You shattered all my self belief
And now I'm just a shadow of my former self
From this depression I need to get relief
All that was before you came and shook things up
You shattered all my self belief
And now I'm just a shadow of my former self
From this depression I need to get relief (Aah-aah)
BREAK to end
