The Day Before Ringtones

Speeches won't be made today Clocks will carry on. Flowers won't be left in parks Work will still be done. People won't be dressed in black Babies will be born. No flags will fly, the sun will rise But we will know that you are gone. You who love to love and believed we can never give enough. It wakes me every single night thinking through the day Did you stop at any time Have doubts at any stage. Or were you calm or were you numb or happy just to get it done I've lived my life without regret until today And you who love to love And believed we can never give enough. I didn't get to say goodbye The day before the day Was trying to get to work on time that's why I turned away And missed the most important thing you ever tried to say I've lived my life without regret until today And you who love to love and believed we can never give enough. And you who hoped that underneath We all felt the same. That was until the day before the day, the day before the day The day before the day, oh the day before the day The day before the day, oh the day before the day Oh the day before the day, oh the day before the day.

I don't know what you wanna hear Things changing course, smiles fade to grin Now the moment's gone, just as I feared And I was hoping, and I was hoping this time No longer here, we were feeling bliss Don't hold your tongue, there's no time for tricks You've been closing up, I expected this But I was hoping that you'd stay open this time I know it won't be long I know you're almost gone Hold on, let me in before the day is over Just let me in before the day is over Say something soon, we might lose it all Something we can use to break our fall There's nothing left to do when we start to stall And I was hoping that we could hold it this time I know it won't be long I know you're almost gone Hold on, let me in before the day is over Just let me in before the day is over Let me in, let me in Just let me in before the day is over I can't take another day I could go insane There's only so much I can take I can't live this way I can't take another day I could go insane There's only so much I can take I can't live this way (I know it won't be long) let me in, let me in (I know you're almost gone) just let me in before the day is over Let me in, let me in Just let me in before the day is over

I had all but given up on Finding the one that I could fall into On the day before you I was ready to settle for Less than love and not much more There was no such thing as a dream come true Oh, but that was all the day before you Now you're here and everything's changing Suddenly, life means so much I can't wait to wake up tomorrow And find out this promise is true I will never have to go back to The day before you In your eyes I see forever Makes me wish that my life never knew The day before you Oh, but heaven knows those years without you Was shaping my heart for the day that I found you If you're the reason for all that I've been through Then I'm thankful for the day before you Yeah yeah Now you're here and everything's changing Suddenly, life means so much I can't wait to wake up tomorrow And find out this promise is true I will never have to go back to The day before you Was the last day that I ever lived alone And I'm never going back No, I'm never going back Now you're here and everything's changing Suddenly, life means so much I can't wait to wake up tomorrow And find out this promise is true (no I'm never going back) I will never have to go back to Yeah, I would never have to go back to The day before you The day before you
