ELIZABETH COOK
"Before I Go That Far"
(Elizabeth Cook / Jim McBride / Jerry Salley)

There are walls here in this house

That werent in the plans

The kind you build in silence

Not by hand

If u won't help me tear em down

Im not gonna stay around

You can't say I left you in the dark

Are you just gonna let me leave

Or stand between the door and me
[Pause]
Before I go that far

[Chorus]

Before I reach the place

That no matter what you do or say

There's no way that you could touch my heart

Before I finally had enough

Imagine me endin up

In anothers arms

If that breaks your heart... stop me

Before I go that far

Well that first step will be

The hardest one to take

Goodbye is not a choice

I wanna make

But baby somethings gotta give

All I know is I can't live

In this house with you the way things are

Im about to cross that line

Heres your chance to change my mind
[Pause]
Before I go that far

Before I reach the place

Where no matter what you do or say

Theres no way that you could touch my heart

Before I finally had enough

Imagine me endin up

In anothers arms

If that breaks your heart... stop me

Before I go that far

Before I finally had enough

Just imagine me makin love

In anothers arms

If that breaks your heart... stop me

Stop me before I go that far
