Before I Knew

Oh,
It was the first time I fell in love
The first time I felt my heart
It was the first time I sang out loud all through the night
But before I knew I was lost,
Before I knew I was a prisioner
And I still can't find a way to make it right
Whatever it was that made you run
I wouldn't find it if you put it on -- I'm not positive about this, help would be appreciated
If I follow every road that goes too far
But my arms are heavy and my words are wrong
My worried heart can only wait so long
And I'll always find a way to fall apart
Though your heart is still unspoken
I know your falling like i have done
Every lie I've told i hold it here unbroken
Oh i may never find another one
Oh, it was the first time I fell in love
The first time I felt my heart
It was the first time I sang out loud all through the night
But before I knew it I was lost,
Before I knew I was a prisoner
And I'll never find a way to make it right
