What Have I Become?

[Verse 1] You said I was the only one And I believed you when you smiled I never saw the warning signs I only saw the good awhile [Pre-Chorus] Then I gave a little more Just to keep the peace somehow I didn't know that every time I gave myself away [Chorus] What have I become? I don't know this face anymore Where did the person disappear? Who was I before? I built these walls around my heart And locked myself behind them What have I become? And how did I let you make me this way? [Verse 2] I stopped answering their calls I learned to question every word Every silence meant betrayal Every promise went unheard [Pre-Chorus] I became the one who watched I became the one who knew Every secret, every weakness Every weapon I could use [Chorus] What have I become? I don't know this face anymore Where did the person disappear? Who was I before? I built these walls around my heart And locked myself behind them What have I become? And how did I let you make me this way? [Guitar Solo] [Melodic, aggressive guitar solo building from sustained bends into faster phrases] [Verse 3] Tonight I said the words that cut The kind I swore I'd never say I watched your eyes go cold with pain And something in me walked away I wanted you to feel the hurt That I had carried all these years But when I saw what I had done I finally saw myself clear [Bridge] I blamed you for the anger I blamed you for the scars But I stayed through every warning And I knew just where we were I can't undo the things I've done I can't pretend I wasn't there But if there's anything left of me I'll find it somewhere [Final Chorus] What have I become? I don't know this face anymore But I won't let the person I was Stay buried on that floor I built these walls around my heart Now I'm tearing them down again What have I become? I don't have to stay this way What have I become? Maybe I'm not finished yet All the pieces of the person I was Aren't lost forever yet I can't change the years behind me But I can choose what comes next What have I become? I'll decide who I become [Outro] What have I become? What can I become? Tomorrow starts with me
