Don't Know How I Got By

Edwin McCain

How did I wake up each day

Before that moment I saw your face

Where was I before your touch

Nowhere is where I was without you

Without you in it

My life was just a lie

Before you I don't how I got by



Before I met you

Before I held you in the night

I don't know how I survived

Before I found you

Before you made everything right

I was half alive

I wasn't really living

Till you came into my life

I got through baby

But I don't know how I got by



And how did I get through those nights

Before that moment I held you tight

And where was I before your kiss

How did I exist without you

Life had no meaning

No reason and no rhyme

And before you I don't know how I got by



Before I met you

Before I held you in the night

I don't know how I survived

Before I found you

Before you made everything right

I was half alive

I wasn't really living

Till you came into my life

I got through baby

But I don't know I got by



I think of when I wake each day

Of waking next to you

I don't know what I was living for

Before you, before you



Before I met you

Before I held you in the night

I don't know how I survived

Before I found you

Before you made everything right

I was half alive

I wasn't really living

Till you came into my life

I got through baby

But I don't know I got by

Before I met you

I don't know how I got by
