Once upon a time there was a story So unreal, it's hard to tell 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 want to break again All I do and all I am Everything's because of him My hell, my heart, my honesty Myself and I, with all of me I would give him all that I had But all I had was not enough and 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 want to understand, no no Love is not a crime, but it sure feels like doing time My mind is shut, and she don't wanna let me in no And all I do and all I am Everything's because of him Whatever I was before the rain Once upon a time there was a story So unreal, it's hard to tell No-one seems to understand, oh Oh, oh, oh Whatever I was before the rain Whatever I was before the rain
