Who I Was

I used to laugh without a script

Now I flinch when they catch a glimpse

I gave too much, too fast, too blind

Now I'm the echo left behind

I tried to hold the shattered frame

But every piece still says my name

I'm not who I was

Just the smoke behind the flame

Who I was

Faded in the corners of your mind

A name you left too far behind

Like a thread that came undone

A story lost before it had begun

I used to move without the weight

Now I rehearse each breath I fake

You said I'd find myself someday

But I don't believe in fate

You saw the light but missed the burn

I stayed too long, forgot to turn

I'm not who I was

Just ashes where I watched me burn

Who I was

Faded in the corners of your mind

A name you left too far behind

Like a thread that came undone

A story lost before it had begun

I'm not the boy you used to know

I'm the ache he left behind

I'm not the light you saw in me

I'm the shadow it designed

So take what's left

Of the wreck I've become

I don't need saving

I just need to feel numb

Who I was

Slipped beneath the weight of yesterday

I tried to be okay, I tried to find a way

But I'm just a name you used to speak

And someone I lost piece by piece

Who I was

Isn't coming back
