Before The Dawn

Before The Dawn Lyrics

Thought I saw you smile, underneath you were frowning
Thought I saw you wave, but you must have been drowning

What's a rose without a thorn?
What is calm without a storm?
I can't say I know what you're going through
I know you won't find peace without a war
The finest silk can still be torn
And it's always darkest right before the dawn

So keep your head up
Keep your head up
My love

When you feel alone and the room is overcrowded (Oh, oh, oh)
I want you to know you could talk to me about it, darling (Yeah)

What's a rose without a thorn?
What is calm without a storm?
I can't say I know what you're going through
But I know you won't find peace without a war
The finest silk can still be torn
And it's always darkest right before the dawn

So keep your head up
Keep your head up
My love

Oh-oh-oh
Too many words goin' unspoken
And oh, my door will always be open
What's a heart if it's never been broken

What's a rose without a thorn?
What is calm without a storm?
And I can't say I know what you're going through
You won't find peace without a war
The finest silk can still be torn
And it's always darkest right before the dawn

So keep your head up
Keep your head up
My love, my love

Keep your head up
Keep your head up
My love
