The Script – Before The Worst lyrics
It's been a while since the two of us talked
About a week since the day that you walked
Knowing things would never be the same
With your empty heart and mine full of pain
So explain to me, how it came to this
Take it back to the night we kissed
It was Dublin City on a Friday night
You were vodkas and coke, I was Guinness all night

We were sitting with our backs against the world
Saying things that we thought would never hurt.
Who would have thought it would end up like this?
Where everything we talked about is gone
And the only chance we have of moving on

Is trying to take it back
Before it all went wrong

Before the worst, before we met
Before our hearts decided
It was time to love again
Before too late, before too long
Let's try to take it back
Before it all went wrong

There was a time that we'd stay up all night
Best friends talking till the daylight
Took the joys alongside the pain
With not much to loose, but so much to gain
Are you hearing me? Cause I don't wanna miss,
Set you a drift on memory bliss
It was Grafton Street on a rainy night
I was down on one knee
and you were mine for life

We we're thinking we would never be apart
With your name tattooed across my heart
Who would have thought it would end up like this?
Where everything we talked about is gone
And the only chance we have of moving on

Is trying to take it back
Before it all went wrong

Before the worst, before we met
Before our hearts decided
It was time to love again
Before too late, before too long
Let's try to take it back
Before it all went wrong

If the clouds don't clear
Then we'll rise above it, we'll rise above it
Heavens gate is so near
Come walk with me through
Just like we used to, just like we used to

Let's take it back
Before it all went wrong

Before the worst, before we met
Before our hearts decided
It was time to love again
Before too late, before too long
Let's try to take it back
Before it all went wrong

    The song is about broken hearts. They thought that no one or nothing would be able t tear them apart, ever. Some how they were proven wrong. Trying to move on with their life, they know they know that they still love each other more than anything. One of them saying that "you know before we learn to move on, and fall in love with someone else... Here we stand knowing that we love each other, let's start all over, forget about the things that went wrong. "
    To me it seems to be too much of a perfect break up song, but I have been able to relate it to my life once. It's all about knowing that you two love each, and that you should get back together because you know it will end up being better this time around.

    A very long relationship that ended our friendship and love with a huge fail. Thou I learned alot thru this experience it still hurts to know we will never be able to try to take it back before it all went wrong. Lifes a struggle thru many things but the people you allow in your life especially in a passionate way should be more aware of wasnt and what could have been. Thou in this we'll never know. I'm ok with the unknown.

    Personally this song means alot to me and probably does to alot of people going through hard times in relationships they thought were so strong nothing could break the bond. To me this song describes a relation that I'm trying to keep a hold off as it was all going good till he decided he needed to move on and hearing this song reminds me that I'm not the only one in the world that goes through bad times but we never seem to learn we always find someone new to love righ?

    A couple who flew head over heels meeting eachother, as if nothing would ever change and it would always remain that one night where the word and thoughts poured out of eachothers mouths. Of course being un aware that they were probably lost in the moment. It got to the point where they were engaged and it seems married? But. An argument or reality check hit and things took a turn for the worst, but still in deep meaningful love, or at least one of them seems to be. One of them or both of them decide to slow it down and trying and take it 'before the worst' had hit, it appears very enthusiastic but a glint of this-hope (if that's a word)appears, where what if does go wrong? What if is just dark clouds from here? That doesn't matter their love is way to strong to let anything get in the way of it, like they are meant to be. They will overcome it and remain together 'happily ever after' because after all its only eachother that matters to them no one else, just, eachother.

    We cannot understand how important our love is when we have everything and our lover is always beside us. Just until the day you have no one to care for and no one care for you, you can understand how much sacrifice he sent for you. And no one can love you more than him. But breaking-up is also the chance for you to study and prevent you to make the same mistake at the next time. I just broke up with my boy, well, after two years love with all crazy, and from this love I can study that we are so childlike when we destroy our first love just because of far distance. Need to sacrifice more also :)

    A hard relationship that meant so much suddenly comes to an end you try to look back on what you did wrong, but what could you do? Change time? This so means that true love will always come through if it was right. This song means that the writer once had a perfect relationship and can't see where it went wrong, and now its over, he wants to go back and change everything so that he can make his relationship right.

    I think its pretty obvious. Me and my love had a really serious realization that really. We had to basically just try to forget about it, because there was no working through it. It was that bad. That thing might have been different in the story of the song, but I think it was something that was so bad that there was no working through it. It would spell the end of the relationship unless you could find a way to rewind and act like it never happened.

    Fixx things before its to late, to fix the hurt before it can't be fixed or mended. The song can have 100 different meanings as everyone will see each line of lyrics differently, different feelings, different perceptions of this.
    But I think its saying, fix things before its to late to fix. Because things will end up fixing themselves if you leave, but you wont be involved in their life unless you fix the pain you caused before it tries to fix itself.

    They were blinded by love. Which ultimately faded. Danny knows they aren't right for eachother but rather than facing the pain of getting over her he wants to keep up the relationship. However, I think he knows what happened was for the best, breakups happen for a reason.
    It's about that struggle you go through when you lose the person you have planned your life around. There are few worse feelings out there.

    This song is very dear to me. It reminds me of my boyfriend and I. We've been having issues for the last 2 years and sometimes I want to take it back to before we met. This song basically means to me, when eveything is going good it's amazing but when it's bad and continues to get worse maybe the best remedy is to remember why you feel in love and act as you did when you first met. :)
