one i used to be
* Lyrics in collaboration w/ Victoria Nguyen (Atara Ara)
Dying to be the same
As I was before I met you
Don't wanna sleep away
The moments that I run to
'Cause the world just feels so sterile now
And no one seems to mind
Did you notice how the colors seem to fade?
I found a picture
It reminds me of a little while
Where a smile could last a while
And the world was really mine
When did I turn into the one I always hated?
How did this happen? Now I'm always feeling jaded
How could I know if this is where I'm meant to be?
If I'm always looking back at the shadows
Reaching for what used to be
Oh it all comes back now
And I think I know how
One look in the mirror
An older self stares back at me
With a smile that's been gone a while
A smile that broke free
As time moves on
It's all the same old song
It scares me how my life here keeps on racing
How could I know if this is where I'm meant to be?
If I'm always looking back at the shadows
Reaching for what used to be
Oh it's time to set free
For the whole world to see
This change begins with me
'Cause the world just feels so sterile now
And it's no one's fault but mine
Oh life's too short
I'm running out of time
Dying to be the same
As I was before I met you
I won't sleep away
The moments that I run to
