Before

Thinking all night thinking all day
'Bout how it used to be before
I'm thinking 'bout her thinking 'bout me
Always goin' after more
But she's gone to get some rest
Don't struggle 'bout me shotting doors
Thinking all night thinking all day
'Bout how it used to be before
Change round my neck not falling back
Won't let you break me down
And I figure out I'm better than I've been before
I am rising high
I'm stronger than I've been before
Cause I'm not affraid to be alone and I
I'm breathing on my own
I said oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh
I am rising high
I'm stronger than I've been before
Not picking up sticks and pickin' up stone
One more but getting last
Some may come some may go
I'm done feeling like a mess
She was a broken girl who always letta pieces fall
I'm thinking 'bout her and thinking 'bout me
Together we are beautiful
Change round my neck not falling back
Won't let you break me down
And I figure out I'm better than I've been before
I am rising high
I'm stronger than I've been before
Cause I'm not affraid to be alone and I
I'm breathing on my own
I said oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh
I am rising high
I'm stronger than I've been before
Let go it's now or never
Won't stay in chains forever
I'm rising higher.. I'm getting stronger
And I figure out I'm better than I've been before
I am rising high
I'm stronger than I've been before
Cause I'm not affraid to be alone and I
I'm breathing on my own
I said oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh
I am rising high
I'm stronger than I've been before
Thinking all night and thinking all day
'Bout how it used to be before
