The song "Before I Met You" by HAVEN is about losing oneself in a toxic relationship and wanting to find their identity again. The lyrics describe how the narrator's partner made them doubt themselves and their beliefs, to the point where they no longer recognize their own voice. The narrator also realizes how their partner caused them to disconnect from their family and become a different person. They long to go back to who they were before they met their partner and ask for their help in rediscovering their identity. The overall message of the song is the importance of self-discovery and not losing oneself in a relationship.
