Before you say things I like Try to read between the lines Cause we've fallen down To many times And now I'm leaving don't you stand in front of me Or where I want to be Where I wanna be Before you say I'd like to know where I stand I'm on my way I'd like to say my goodbyes Before you waste your breath Think back to the rest Cause we've fallen apart So many times You start to realize that we're not as strong as we Might of thought we'd be Might of thought we'd be Before you say I'd like to know where I stand I'm on my way I'd like to say my goodbyes Before you say This is where I stand I'd like to know where I stand This is where I stand I'm on my way This is where I stand And I'd like the time to say my goodbyes Excuse me this my life your messing with And I'm tired of telling you This is what I want to do And I'm asking you Don't stand in my way Before you'd stand in front of me Before you would stand in front of me Before you say I'd like to know where I stand I'm on my way I'd like to say my goodbyes Before you say This is where I stand I'd like to know where I stand This is where I stand I'm on my way This is where I stand And I'd like the time to say my goodbyes Excuse me please This is my life you're messing with And I'm tired of telling you But I guess You'll never understand
