Lyrics:
I thought I could carry it and move on.
I was wrong.

There’s something in me I pushed aside
Stopped trying to make it right
I built my days around that space
And kept it out of sight

I say I’m fine, I keep it short
Like nothing’s underneath
But when the house goes quiet at night
It’s right in front of me

I tell myself I’ve grown from it
And that I’m stronger now.

But truth hits harder in the dark
And won’t stay covered up

I’m caught inside what used to be
Trying to clear my head
I lost the man I thought I was
In every word unsaid

I don’t recognize this face
Or how I learned to stand
I’m walking circles in myself
Doing the best I can

I changed in ways I never planned
I am not who I was

I’m tired of watching what I say
Tired of playing safe
Of carrying what wasn’t mine
And calling that my fate

I trusted what they told me then
I let it shape my view
Now I replay it in the dark
Like there’s something I missed in you

They say that time will settle things
Mine never really does

It sits right there beneath my ribs
Reminding me because

I’m caught inside what used to be
Trying to clear my head
I lost the man I thought I was
In every word unsaid

I don’t recognize this face
Or how I learned to stand
I’m walking circles in myself
Doing the best I can

I changed in ways I never planned
I am not who I was

I kept it buried deep enough
Thought it wouldn’t show
But every time I shut it down
It only seemed to grow

Maybe I was scared to change
Maybe I just froze
Maybe holding on too long
Is why I had to let it go

I can’t go back to who I was
That version’s gone for good
I’m not the man I used to be
But I’m stronger than I understood

I’m done chasing what used to be
I’m clearing out my head
I lost the man I thought I was
But I’m not done yet

I don’t recognize this face
But I’m learning how to stand
I’ve walked through it on my own
Now I know who I am

I changed in ways I never planned
I am not who I was

Still breathing.
Still here.

I am not who I was...
