Before you came along, my life, my world was different. You have made all the difference.

You see that guy staring off in the distance?
Looks like he's shouldering the weight of the world
I bet he's questioning the pain of his existence
Feeling like he's never gonna find the right girl
Before you...
That used to be me
Maybe it's mean, but I wannna walk you by him
Show him what he's missing, though I don't think he'd see
He'd think we're walking close together just to spite him
He'd turn his face away so casually
Before you...
That used to be me
It used to be me who never saw the possibilities
It used to be me who never looked ahead
It used to be me who never rose to my abilities
It used to be me who thought that God was dead
Lazy Americans who sit and watch the T.V.
Changing the channels like they'll find something good
Maybe they've got someone beside them that they don't see
They might be lovers but they're not in that mood
Before you...
That used to be me
A little child who's afraid of his shadow
A paper bag blowing loose in the breeze
One of a billion weeds in a meadow
A withered leaf hanging off a dead tree
Before you...
That used to be me
