Before Time Slipped Away Lyrics - Singles - Chadwick Station

Verse 1 

If I sat alone and conjured thoughts of you 

Would that provide a passage through 

The portal of what used to be 

When all we knew was you and me 

And how our love would never die? 

Why'd we say goodbye? 

Chorus 

Am I wrong to wonder for so long? 

To dwell upon the ifs and buts 

That kill me like a thousand cuts. 

Now I love her and you love him 

But we were us before we were them. 

What we had will have to stay 

Locked inside our yesterday 

'Cause that was before time slipped away. 

Verse 2 

If I had to choose between the life I've seen 

Or one that simply could've been 

Could I just throw it all away 

In hopes that you would always stay with me 

And give us one more try? 

Why'd we say goodbye? 

Chorus 

And how long will I wonder what went wrong? 

To question all the steps I made. 

To second-guess the hand I played. 

Now you love him and I love her. 

We can't go back to what we were. 

What we had we can't replay 

'Cause it belongs to yesterday 

And that was before time slipped away. 

Instrumental Bridge 

Chorus 

What we had will have to stay 

Locked inside our yesterday 

'Cause that was before time slipped away. 

Oh, that was before time slipped away.
