Before

Thinking all night, thinking all day

About how used to be before

I'm thinking about her, thinking about me

Always going after more

But she's gone, I get some rest

above me shutting doors

Thinking all night, thinking all day

About how used to be before

Chains 'round my neck

Not falling back

Won't let you break me down

And I've figured out

I'm better than I've been before

I am rising high

I'm stronger than I've been before

'Cause I'm not afraid to be alone

And I, I'm breathing on my own

I say

I am rising high

I'm stronger than I've been before

Not picking up sticks, I'm picking up stones

One more but getting less

Some may come and some may go

I'm done feeling like a mess

She was a broken girl

Who always let the pieces fall

I'm thinking about her, I'm thinking about me

Together we are beautiful

Chains 'round my neck

Not falling back

Won't let you break me down

And I've figured out

I'm better than I've been before

I am rising high

I'm stronger than I've been before

'Cause I'm not afraid to be alone

And I, I'm breathing on my own

I say

I am rising high

I'm stronger than I've been before

Let go, it's now or never

Won't stay in chains forever

I'm rising higher

I'm getting stronger

(And I've figured out)

I'm better than I've been before

(I'm better than I've been, better than I've been)

I am rising high

I'm stronger than I've been before

'Cause I'm not afraid to be alone

And I, I'm breathing on my own

I say

I am rising high

I'm stronger than I've been before

Thinking all night, thinking all day

About how used to be before
