Who I Was Lyrics

This house is burning down

The foundation is worn

I’ll submit to its sound

And wish for nothing more

A frame of blackened bones

Remembers nothing fast

I think about my home

As I sift through the ash

This gentle rain will wash my face

Like tears from the sky

I have to leave this haunted place

Forget the past I can’t erase

Destroy the life I once embraced

Remember me for who I was

A secret memory

Keeps playing in my mind

Like a nickel movie screen

I watch a hundred times

But these streetlights are black

The road closed long ago

No way I’m coming back

No way I could ever go

This gentle rain will wash my face

Like tears from the sky

I have to leave this haunted place

Forget the past I can’t erase

Destroy the life I once embraced

Remember me for who I was

This drastic point of view

Is enough to do me in

If I can’t keep my word to you

I’ll just come back again

But I have to leave this haunted place

Forget the past I can’t erase

Destroy the live I once embraced

Remember me for who I was

Remember me for who I was
