Who I Used To Be Lyrics

I'm afraid to fall asleep

I'm afraid to be alone

I live in fear of dying early

Worrying about things I can't control

I want everyone to like me

I want my voice to be heard

I want to tune out the voices

I want to tune out the noise

People say I won't make it

They don't give me a choice

I'll show them I can do it all

I'll prove everyone wrong

They'll see

They'll see

I don't write music for them it's for me

I'm trying to find out who I used to be

Before they took the joy out of me

I'm trying to find out who I used to be

I'm trying to find the person I can be

I'm trying to find out who I used to be

I strive to be perfect

I strive to be right

I fall when I fail

I seem to lose sight

Of the things that really matter

Of the reason I'm alive

I want to be noticed

I want to be heard

People think that I don't realize

They cut my wings like a bird

I want to be free

Of anxiety

They'll see

They'll see

I don't write music for them it's for me

I'm trying to find out who I used to be

Before they took the joy out of me

I'm trying to find out who I used to be

I'm trying to find the person I can be

I'm trying to find out who I used to be

I'm afraid to fall asleep

I'm afraid to be alone

I live in fear of dying early

Worrying about things I can't control

I want everyone to like me

I want my voice to be heard

They'll see

I don't write music for them it's for me

I'm trying to find out who I used to be

Before they took the joy out of me

I'm trying to find out who I used to be

I'm trying to find the person I can be

I'm trying to find out who I used to be
