i’ve lost myself somehow
i can’t seem to work it out
still struggling to find my way
through the dark of another day
i’m trying so hard to hold on
to a part of me that’s already gone

some things can’t be erased
like that look upon your face
said it all without saying a word
like a lesson left unlearned
hearts and minds will always change
thoughts and feelings will rearrange
the confirmation of my worst fears
the culmination of all these years
my suspicions turned out to be true
all this time i was loosing you

i’ve heard innocence can be maintained
but do you think it can be regained
cause when you looked at me like that
i was taken back
to what you said before
you don’t love him anymore
don’t think you ever did
why would you keep your feelings hid
was i trying to find myself in you
can i ever really start anew

i’ve got to find a way to get back
the sense of self that i once had
am i destined always to make
all of the very same mistakes
you’ve given me something to say
if only it could have been some other way
my world is coming apart at the seams
it’s full of challenged memories
i can’t seem to separate the real from the fake
i need to make changes i can’t seem to make

you’re not the one who got away
you’re the one who wouldn’t stay
through the laughter and the pain
through the sunshine and the rain
i’m still trying to redefine
write that song that doesn’t rhyme
how can i begin again
when i’m faced with the end
