[Verse 1]
Batter after batter
I couldn't play ball
I dreamt of anybody else's world
I wasn't ready at all

[Pre-Chorus]
Scared to start and my face betrays me
Gotta get out before the heart starts shakin'
That was me blue

[Chorus]
That was me before you
That was me before you

[Verse 2]
You hate bein' a passenger
The fate of someone else's wheel
They say they'll have you home for dinner, baby, baby, baby
In a home that you'll share

[Pre-Chorus]
My bed was a placе for the lonely
Built it that way, came to think it was holy
That was mе blue
Crossfade into the dark, have a smoke, yeah
Take another drink or walk with the news playin'
That was me too

[Chorus]
That was me before you
That was me before you
That was me before you

[Bridge]
Crossfade into the night, have a smoke, yeah
Take another drink or walk with the news playin'
My bed was a place for the lonely
Built it that way, came to think it was holy
Scared to start and my face betrays me
Gotta get out before the heart starts shakin'

[Outro]
That was me before you
Me before you
Oh, and I'm tired and in woe
Tired and in woe
