[Verse 1]
Take my heart
It used to be so supple and sweet
And now it's withered on the vine

[Chorus]
There's before and then there's after
You were mine

[Verse 2]
Take my faith
So strong and full of fire
Now it's bruised, broken down and blind

[Chorus]
There's before and then there's after
You were mine
You were mine

[Pre-Chorus]
Sun comes up, sun goes down
World keeps rollin' around and around
The hands on the clock going, "Tick-tock-tick-tock"
Ain't the way I measure time

[Chorus]
There's just before and then there's after
You were mine
You were mine
[Verse 3]
Take my hands, they used to hold you so tight
Now they reach, but they never touch you in the night

[Chorus]
There's before and then there's after
You were mine
You were mine, mine, mine

[Pre-Chorus]
Sun comes up, sun goes down
World keeps rollin' around and around
The hands on the clock going, "Tick-tock-tick-tock"
That ain't the way that I measure time

[Chorus]
There's just before and then there's after
There's before and then there's after
There's before, there's before and then there's after
You were mine

[Outro]
You were mine, you were mine, you were mine
Oh, yeah-yeah, oh, yeah-yeah
Oh-ho-ho
You were mine, you were mine, you were mine, yeah
