I never noticed the colors
Before they faded to grey
I never saw the nighttime
Before it turned to day
I never noticed beauty
Until it fell to disrepair
I never valued justice
Before nothing was fair
I never heard a single sound
Before the birds stopped their song
I never knew what was right
Until everything was wrong
I couldn’t think any thoughts
Before I had lost my mind
I never looked for treasure
Until there was nothing to find
I never knew how to swim
Before the world turned dry
I never spoke a word
Until I said goodbye
I never showed a smile
Before sadness invaded
I never looked for light
Until the world was shaded
I never could fall sleep
Until I was wide awake
I never knew what was real
Until everything was fake
I never found honesty
Before nothing was true
I never knew loneliness
Before I had met you
I never quite felt whole
Before I was torn apart
And I never knew love
Until you broke my heart
