I had a love before who told me
Things I did believe, but I was never sure
It was in his eyes that I denied the
Truth; instead I chose to believe the lies
I was under a spell but I liked the
Way it made me feel so I could never tell
That I was so unwise to give him all
My love when I knew it wouldn't last
I have seen a momentary love
But you and I will always stay
There have been too many for too long
And the promises that don't remain
Become a love before
I gave my heart before,
To a man who couldn't see that to him I'd have given the world
And although I tried,
He turned away my best and still I stayed along for the ride
Why couldn't I tell that all he had to
Give was a lesson that I learned too well?
And I was so unwise to give him all
My love and to think that it would last
I have seen a momentary love
But you and I will always stay
There have been too many for too long
And the promises that don't remain
Become a love before
It's a story told too many times of a
Love that keeps you coming back, coming back
Though you know it's just not right,
Still you feel compelled to go running back, running back
When you came into my life,
I finally felt like I got it right, got it right
Although it took some time, every love before led me to you
I have seen a momentary love
But you and I will always stay
There have been too many for too long
And the promises that don't remain
Become a love before
