the old me Lyrics

Piece by piece I was taken away

Till I saw my shimmer go to gray

Part like specks into the breeze

Like summer dust washed through the trees

No I won't see the old me

I gave and gave everything that I had

If you bend too much you'll break in the end

Hoped to save fair child's fate

Instead I got lost, couldn't find my place

No I won't see the old me

Was it her fault

She's a delicate thing

When her world's all dark

And you're blinding

You try to be there till you can't

This time I broke and I can't come back

For my darling lost at sea

When I reached my hand she dragged me deep

No I won't see the old me

Piece by piece I watched me fade

Till I couldn't be more than afraid

Left alone on the California shore

Just another relic on the ocean floor

And as my body fell away

I couldn't speak my final pain

For my baby lost at sea

That I'd still let her drag me deep

No I won't see the old me

No I won't see the old me
