When She Was Me

He stays

I hold

Those days close to my heart

I know that we were good

The best you

The best me

We couldn't see the dark for the light

I didn't see it coming

When she creeps in

She's like a second skin

She gets into my veins and I can't sleep a wink

And so I drown the fire till I can't feel a thing

The lies I tell myself to keep the world in place

Begin to burn away until it's all over again

And nothing's left to save

When she is me

When she is me

When she was me

When she was me

I wish I could undo all of the pain

Of what I put you through

The things I said

The things I lost

Will haunt me till the end of my days

I know that I was wrong

When I lost hold of what I believed

And I let you go

I knew that everything

I thought for sure I knew had made a fool of me

So I had to know you were the enemy

Because I couldn't face that I had let her in again

And I was so ashamed

When she creeps in

She's like a second skin

She gets into my veins and I can't sleep a wink

And so I drown the fire till I can't feel a thing

The lies I tell myself to keep the world in place

Begin to burn away until it's all over again

And nothing's left to save

When she is me

When she is me

When she was me

When she was me
