You Before Me Lyrics

I look into your eyes
I see you standing there
You look so beautiful
And I can only stare
You're always on my mind
But thoughts don't do you justice
I want to say so much to you
Something so much more than words

Jesus, she's an angel
I can see Your hands above her
And I offer up my own
Do with them as you please
But please don't leave me Lord
Because I want her to fall in love
With You before she falls in love with me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

No one's ever going to visit this page! On the off chance someone does, my band May 13 and I wrote this song for my amazing girlfiend Alaina. It's just my prayer to God for us.
