Innan jag kände dig [English translation]

Here I became who I am

Here I’ll remain

Here I’ve longed to leave

Here I’ve felt free

Here I’ve looked forward

But often looked down

I’m probably not what you dream about

But I am what you see

I’ve been chosen by others

That is my secret

The first lacks feeling

The other humility

They had something in common

I turned a blind eye to it

I’ve always held tight

to those I can’t stand

I’ve written my rules

No one could change them

I took the first best way out

When someone asked me to think about it

I might start to feel it

I can’t help that

I wouldn’t even be half that

without what I do

You have your own answer key

for right and for wrong

You may carry many things

I understand a little part

Did you have someone before

Do you want to have someone later

Yeah, I want to say that I love you

but it’s still too soon

I had stopped talking

I was so used to it and shut off

You asked who destroyed me

And I didn’t give you an answer

I took everything for granted

There was something wrong with me

I must’ve been someone else

Before I knew you
