"Before He Could" lyrics

"Before He Could"

It was all Friday nights with a glass of rosé
Stayin' inside, talkin' over the rain comin' down
It was all Sunday mornin' walks in the park
Blue sky watchin' me in his arms
'Til I started thinkin' about
How it all seemed too good to be true
And if I leave now, I'll have less to lose

So I ran from what I wanted
That front door was my way out
I pulled out the driveway, turned on the highway
Headlights lookin' down the easy route
I saw forever in his "I need you" eyes
He didn't deserve to hear "goodbye"
But I was scared to let my heart do what it should
So I broke it before he could

Yeah, I know that I let a good thing go
But when I started lookin' down that long road
I could see everything fallin' apart
So I went ahead and got a head start

And I ran from what I wanted
That front door was my way out
I pulled out the driveway, turned on the highway
Headlights lookin' down the easy route
I saw forever in his "I need you" eyes
He didn't deserve to hear "goodbye"
But I was scared to let my heart do what it should
So I broke it before he could

Leave me, kitchen floor cryin'
Kickin' myself, askin' God, "Why?" and
Prayin' someday that he'll turn back around
Oh, probably like he's hopin' I will right now

So I ran from what I wanted
That front door was my way out
I pulled out the driveway, turned on the highway
Lookin' down the easy route
I saw forever in his "I need you" eyes
He didn't deserve to hear "goodbye"
But I was scared to let my heart do what it should
So I broke it before he could
Mmm, I broke it before he could
