I Was You

I Was You

I have lived many lives

Packed into this existence

And I think that’s the problem

Because, you see, I was you once

We even had the same name

But she had to die

She could have never lived on

When the time came and she left me

I knew it was right, but it still hurt

And I think that was the problem

I see a lot of you in her, her in you

I’ve worn your shoes

Your clothes

Your hair

I was you once

And I ran away from it all too
