Not Me

Remember who you are

I'm still her 

For so long I thought I lost her 

I put so much of her into others

Till there was nothing left 

And there's a smile that I thought I'd lost 

There's a ghost there I forgot 

It's not me, it's not me 

There's a tree standing among ash and rubble 

There's a house I called home so long ago 

There's someone you'll never really know 

They made it too hard, and then they made it too easy 

And you saw all she could be 

It's not me, it's not me 

There's a dark sky 

I used to sit under every single day 

I'd hope and I'd pray for the rain to go away

But it stayed and it stayed 

Until it was who I became 

They could still see the grey clouds in my eyes 

They could still see who was fading 

It's not me, it's not me 

Then it happened again 

They saw an avalanche crush me 

My heart was caving

From the pressure coming from every side they were on

Every side but mine 

It's easy to create an image when you only have one shade 

I couldn't become the one they had made 

Don't come back, no not today

Don't you know it's too late, it's too late 

Phone calls made and lies dripping from your lips 

another sinking ship 

words thrown like knives 

Into a heart that only meant to love 

But you love and let die 

I never know how to let go quickly 

But this time it was easy
