Alexandra Burke - Before the Rain lyrics

Once upon a time there was a story so unreal
It's hard to tell
And no one seems to understand
Once within my mind there was a name
That I can't even start to spell
'Cause, I don't wanna break again

All I do and all I am
Everything's because of him

My head, my heart, my honesty
My self and I, with all of me
I would give him more than I had
But all I had was nothing but pain
My voice, my eyes will never see
The way they looked and spoke of me
Nowhere I can go to regain
Whatever I was before the rain

Every single time I close my eyes
My mind goes back to where he was
'Cause she don't wanna understand, no, no
Love is not a crime but it
Sure feels like doing time
My mind is shut 'cause she
Don't wanna let me in, no

All I do and all I am
Everything's because of him

My head, my heart, my honesty
My self and I, with all of me
I would give him more than I had
But all I had was nothing but pain
My voice, my eyes will never see
The way they looked and spoke of me
Nowhere I can go to regain
Whatever I was before the rain

Whatever I was before the rain

Once upon a time there was a story so unreal
It's hard to tell
But no one seems to understand

Oh oh, my head, my heart, my honesty
My self and I, with all of me
I would give him more than I had
But all I had was nothing but pain
My voice, my eyes will never see
The way that they looked and spoke of me
Nowhere I can go to regain
Whatever I was before the rain
Oh oh oh, whatever I was before the rain

Whatever I was before the rain
