Analysis of Before Me
To see you leave once again
is it over?
Watching you descend down the stairs
it kills me!
I can't think striaght
pain burning inside of me
Shutting me out
because your hurting
Closing me out
are you trying to forget
the pain before me...
I hear you saying
it's the last time for me
it's over!
But I'm watching you ascend
come back before me...
takind me down
further inside your misery!
