He lied, he cheated till he broke your heart
& you can't count the teardrops you cried
He made you afraid to make a new start
& that's why you've never tried
CHORUS:
But that was before my time
& darlin', that's all behind
I'll help you forget in these arms of mine
What happened before my time
You never had someone to love you so strong
& nothing else matters at all
I know you've carried those heartaches too long
& now you're afraid to fall
(chorus, then repeat its last 2 lines)
