Before the Worst

It's been a while since the two of us talked

About a week since the day that you walked

Knowing things would never be the same

With your empty heart and mine full of pain

So explain to me how it came to this

Take it back to the night we kissed

It was Dublin city on a Friday night

With vodkas and Coke, I was Guinness all night

We were sitting with our back against the world

Saying things that we thought were never heard

Oh, who would have thought it would end up like this?

Where everything we talked about is gone

And the only chance we have of moving on

Is trying to take it back before it all went wrong

Before the worst

Before we mend

Before our hearts decide it's time to love again

Before too late

Before too long

Let's try to take it back before it all went wrong

There was a time that we'd stay up all night

Best friends, yeah, talking till the daylight

Took the joys alongside the pain

With not much to lose but so much to gain

Are you hearing me? 'Cause I don't wanna miss

Set you adrift on memory bliss, it was Grafton Street

On a rainy night, I was down on one knee

And you were mine for life

We were thinking we would never be apart

With your name tattooed across my heart

Oh, who would have thought it would end up like this?

Where everything we talked about is gone

And the only chance we have of moving on

Is trying to take it back before it all went wrong

Before the worst

Before we mend

Before our hearts decide it's time to love again

Before too late

Before too long

Let's try to take it back before it all went wrong

If the clouds don't clear

Then we'll rise above it

We'll rise above it

Heaven's gate is so near

Come walk with me through

Just like we used to

Just like we used to

Let's take it back before it all went wrong

Before the worst

Before we mend

Before our hearts decide it's time to love again

Before too late

Before too long

Let's try to take it back before it all went wrong

Let's try to take it back before it all went wrong
