[Intro - Tape hiss. Barely audible.) [Verse 1] I used to know Exactly who I was Before I learned To become everyone Collected pieces That were never mine Now every mirror Shows a different life [Pre-Chorus] I kept saying "I'm okay..." So many times The truth... Forgot my name. [Chorus] I've been talking To the version of me Buried underneath Everybody's needs She won't answer She just looks right through Guess she learned That from me too [Verse 2] Funny... Everyone says "You've changed." Maybe... I'm just removing Everything That never belonged. [Pre-Chorus] If I peel away Every expectation Will there still... Be someone waiting? [Chorus] I've been talking To the version of me Locked behind The girl they wanted to see She's still breathing Somewhere underneath Counting every promise I didn't keep [Bridge] (Almost spoken.) Maybe... Nothing was broken. Maybe... She was hiding. Waiting... Until the noise Finally stopped. [Final Chorus] I've been talking To the version of me The one who never Needed rescuing She whispers... "I'm still here..." So quietly... I almost Believe her. [Outro - Whisper only.) Come back... I'm listening.
