[Melodic intro] [Verse 1] I used to watch the sky for something A sign in every falling star I kissed the air like it was someone But love was always too far I had rooms full of silent Sundays Half-written dreams on every wall I wore a smile like it meant something But I had no one at all [Pre-Chorus] Then you walked in like a sunrise Breaking through my doubt Every door I kept locked inside You somehow figured out [Chorus] There was before you… A heart without a flame A life that kept on turning But never really changed There’s after you… Where every color’s new Every breath I take Leads me back to you I didn’t know what love was Until my world came into view There was before you… And now there’s after you [Verse 2] I used to fear the sound of midnight The echo of my own goodbye I held my tears like secrets Afraid of asking why But you found me in the quiet Where even hope felt small You said my name like a promise Like I was worth it all [Pre-Chorus 2] And every broken piece of me Started falling into place You didn’t try to fix my scars You just held my face [Chorus] There was before you… A shadow of a flame A soul without a compass Drifting with no aim There’s after you… Where I am not alone You turned this fragile heart Into a home I didn’t know forever Could feel this true There was before you… And now there’s after you [EPIC MELODIC BREAK (Orchestral + Subtle EDM Rise)] [Instrumental Section – Choir pads, rising strings, heartbeat-style kick building, soft vocalizations] Ahhhh… Ohhh… [Whispered vocal line over ambient build] You found me… You found me… [Drop into emotional half-time beat with pulsing synth under strings] [Bridge (Big Emotional Climb)] If I had lived a thousand lives I would have searched each one Through every storm, through every night Until my heart came home And if the stars forget to shine If heaven turns to blue I would still believe in love Because I found it in you [FINAL CHORUS (Full Power – Key Lift Optional)] There was before you… But I don’t live there now That girl was barely breathing I’m finally breathing now There’s after you… Where every fear is gone You are the reason My broken heart is strong Every road I’ve ever taken Every prayer that I once knew Was leading me to this — To after you There was before you… But all I see is truth There was before you… And now… There’s only you... And me.

Before you, After you
