I Wasn't

Intro I wasn't... I wasn't what you thought. I wasn't gone. I wasn't broken. I was listening. Verse 1 I wasn't silent because I had nothing to say. I was silent because I heard everything. Every fake apology. Every hidden motive. Every promise that disappeared when nobody was watching. I wasn't lost in the dark. I was learning how to see. You were looking for a weakness... You never looked for me. I wasn't falling apart. I was rearranging. Taking every piece they threw away and making something dangerous. Hook I wasn't... I wasn't what you wanted me to be. I wasn't the shadow. I wasn't the ghost. I wasn't the person you could erase easily. You saw the mask. You saw the quiet. You never saw the war happening underneath. Verse 2 I wasn't angry. I was awake. I wasn't empty. I was an earthquake waiting on a reason. You thought my patience was surrender. You thought my silence was defeat. But I was watching every move... Before you ever noticed me. Bridge The funny thing about a mask... Everyone thinks it's hiding you. Sometimes... It's hiding them from you. Final I wasn't gone. I was becoming. I wasn't finished. I was beginning. You asked where I went... I was right here. Watching. Waiting. Remembering.
