He lied, he cheated till he broke your heart
And you can't count the teardrops you cried
He made you afraid to make a new start
And that's why you've never tried
[Chorus]
But that was before my time
And darlin', that's all behind
I'll help you forget in these arms of mine
What happened before my time
You never had someone to love you so strong
And nothing else matters at all
I know you've carried those heartaches too long
And now you're afraid to fall
[Chorus]
I'll help you forget in these arms of mine
What happened before my time
