Jay Parish - Before You Found Him Lyrics

I started off just trying to hide my flaws
I never knew once I started, that I would never finish
But sooner or later, the mask had to come off
And I should've known that you were too smart to fall for an image

I just didn't want you to disappear all of a sudden
And this is what I get for getting addicted to your attention
I hope you forgive me for trying to be someone I wasn't
Even if it's too late, I just want to explain my intention

I was trying to become the man of your dreams
Before you found him
I was trying to become the man of your dreams
Before you found him

And then you found him
You asked and your dream knocked on your door
You found him
And he was everything you were hoping for

Before you found him
Before you found him

I swear I really wanted to do this right
But I made some promises too big to take back
But sooner or later, the real me stepped into the light
And I should've known that you were too real to fall for an act

I just didn't want you to disappear all of a sudden
And this is what I get for getting addicted to your attention
I hope you forgive me for trying to be someone I wasn't
Even if it's too late, I just want to explain my intention

I was trying to become the man of your dreams
Before you found him
I was trying to become the man of your dreams
Before you found him

And then you found him
You asked and your dream knocked on your door
You found him
And he was everything you were hoping for

Before you found him
Before you found him

I was trying to be the man that you wanted
Trying to be the one that you wanted
Even if that meant not being me

I was trying to be the man that you wanted
Trying to be the one that you wanted
Even if that meant not being me

I was trying to become the man of your dreams
Before you found him
I was trying to become the man of your dreams
Before you found him

And then you found him
You asked and your dream knocked on your door
You found him
And he was everything you were hoping for

Before you found him
Before you found him
