Before The Dawn

Thought I saw you smile
Underneath you were frowning
Thought I saw you wave
But you must have been drowning

What's a rose without a thorn?
What is calm without a storm?
I can't say I know what you're going through
I know you won't find peace without a war
The finest silk can still be torn
And it's always darkest right before the dawn

So keep your head up
Keep your head up
My love

When you feel alone
And the room is overcrowded (oh, oh, oh)
I want you to know
You can talk to me about it, darling (yeah)

What's a rose without a thorn?
What is calm without a storm?
I can't say I know what you're going through
But I know you won't find peace without a war
The finest silk can still be torn
And it's always darkest right before the dawn

So keep your head up
Keep your head up
My love

Too many words goin' unspoken
And oh, my door will always be open
What's a heart if it's never been broken

What's a rose without a thorn?
What is calm without a storm?
And I can't say I know what you're going through, yeah
You won't find peace without a war
The finest silk can still be torn
And it's always darkest right before the dawn

So keep your head up
Keep your head up
My love, my love
Keep your head up
Keep your head up
My love
