I'm Not That Anymore Lyrics

I once was a child

Tender and naïve

I could walk through a desert and still find life

And laughter brought me to my knees, but

I'm not that anymore

I'm not that anymore

I became a Country singer

They told me I should write songs about trucks, girls and beer

And I gave up my voice, as if I didn't have a choice

Until one day, I looked myself in the mirror and said

I'm not that anymore

I'm not that anymore

They can knock, they can bang, they can beat on my door, but

I'm not that anymore

There was a seed in the ground

And it grew up with help from all that's around

Changed color, changed shape

And offered itself for the world to take

One day I'll be a raindrop

And fall from great heights

Become part of a snow, join in a river's flow

Before taking my place in the ocean

And I'll rise again

I'm not that anymore

I'm not that anymore

You can call out my name, I won't answer, because

I'm not that anymore

You can search up and down, everywhere, every when

You can write me in your story, insist and pretend

But if you are still living in yesterday, then

I'm not that anymore
