[Intro – soft humming, empty room ambience] mmm… used to be someone… yeah… someone I miss… don’t even recognize me… who did I turn into [Verse 1 – reflective, softer delivery] I look in the mirror and I don’t see me Dreams I had don’t fit the same Everything changed but I stayed in pain Lost that spark that lit my way I’m a stranger to myself today [Pre Chorus – rising pain] I miss the fire that lived in my chest Miss who I was before all the stress Try to remember but the past won’t speak Trying to find the person I used to be [Chorus – searching, emotional] The person I used to be feels far away Like a ghost of a version I lost someday I keep reaching out but they slip from me Chasing shadows of who I’m supposed to be I miss the dreamer I once believed Miss the hope I used to keep underneath Now I’m drifting in the space between Me right now and the person I used to be [Verse 2 – slightly sharper flow] Used to walk proud with a fearless step Now I move slow like there’s nothing left Used to laugh loud till the room felt warm Now the silence hits harder than any storm Used to fight back every time shit hurt Now I numb it all till it don’t convert Used to shine bright just naturally Now I’m dimmed out from reality Used to fight back every time shit hurt Now I numb it all till it don’t convert Used to shine bright just naturally Now I’m dimmed out from reality [Pre Chorus – repeat with heavier emotion] I miss the fire that lived in my chest Miss who I was before all the stress Try to remember but the past won’t speak Trying to find the person I used to be [Chorus – repeat] The person I used to be feels far away Like a ghost of a version I lost someday I keep reaching out but they slip from me Chasing shadows of who I’m supposed to be I miss the dreamer I once believed Miss the hope I used to keep underneath Now I’m drifting in the space between Me right now and the person I used to be [instrumental break] [Bridge – deeper reflection, steady flow] I wonder if I’ll ever get back that spark Or if the world carved lines in me too dark I wonder if healing means losing some parts Or if the pain just rebuilt different hearts I wonder if growth means letting me go Or if the past me’s waiting down some road I wonder if I’ll rise from what broke me free Or forever miss the person I used to be [Chorus – final repeat, fullest emotion] The person I used to be feels far away Like a ghost of a version I lost someday I keep reaching out but they slip from me Chasing shadows of who I’m supposed to be I miss the dreamer I once believed Miss the hope I used to keep underneath Now I’m drifting in the space between Me right now and the person I used to be The person I used to be feels far away Like a ghost of a version I lost someday I keep reaching out but they slip from me Chasing shadows of who I’m supposed to be I miss the dreamer I once believed Miss the hope I used to keep underneath Now I’m drifting in the space between Me right now and the person I used to be [Outro – quiet humming, fading breath] used to be… mmm… used to be me… gone…
