Before you, I was doing my best, before you, I was still a mess 
 Wanderin' 'round this town, didn't have a clue, before you 
 I don't have to say, I'm not perfect, babe 
 You already know, and you love me just the same 
    Before you, my heart was running on Empty 
 Before you, I was drowning in an ocean of lonely 
 Now I look to something higher, walk straight through the fire 
 No, there ain't nothin' I won't do 
 To be the man I wanna be for you   
 Letting go of the things in my past, all the heartbreaks holding me back 
 Was trying to find my own way to something new, then in walked you 
 I can't count the times that you've helped me through 
 I thank God for you, you made me living proof   
 'Cause before you, my heart was running on Empty 
 Before you, I was drowning in an ocean of lonely 
 Now I look to something higher, walk straight through the fire 
 No, there ain't nothin' I won't do 
 To be the man I wanna be for you   
 Before you, my heart was running on Empty 
 Before you, I was drowning in an ocean of lonely 
 Now I look to something higher, walk straight through the fire 
 No, there ain't nothin' I won't do 
 To be the man I wanna be for you 
 To be the man I wanna be for you
