When She Was Me

	He stays; I hold
	those days close to my heart
	I know that we were good
	The best you, the best me
	we couldn’t see the dark for the light
	I didn’t see it coming
	When she creeps in, she’s like a second skin
	She gets into my veins and I can’t sleep a wink
	And so I drown the fire till I can’t feel a thing
	The lies I tell myself to keep the world in place
	begin to burn away until it’s all over again
	and nothing’s left to save
	When she is me
	When she is me
	When she was me
	When she was me
	I wish I could undo all of the pain
	of what I put you through
	The things I said, the things I lost
	will haunt me till the end of my days
	I know that I was wrong
	When I lost hold of what I believed
	and I let you go, I knew that everything
	I thought for sure I knew had made a fool of me
	So I had to know you were the enemy
	because I couldn’t face that I had let her in again
	and I was so ashamed
	When she creeps in, she’s like a second skin
	She gets into my veins and I can’t sleep a wink
	And so I drown the fire till I can’t feel a thing
	The lies I tell myself to keep the world in place
	begin to burn away until it’s all over again
	and nothing’s left to save
	When she is me
	When she is me
	When she was me
	When she was me

	He stays I hold
	those days close to my heart
	I know that we were good
	The best you, the best me
	we couldn' t see the dark for the light
	I didn' t see it coming
	When she creeps in, she' s like a second skin
	She gets into my veins and I can' t sleep a wink
	And so I drown the fire till I can' t feel a thing
	The lies I tell myself to keep the world in place
	begin to burn away until it' s all over again
	and nothing' s left to save
	When she is me
	When she is me
	When she was me
	When she was me
	I wish I could undo all of the pain
	of what I put you through
	The things I said, the things I lost
	will haunt me till the end of my days
	I know that I was wrong
