WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME? Me, Myself & I — The Comeback [Intro – Deep Male Spoken Voice, Soft Piano, Distant Rain] Hey… Don't misunderstand me. When I said I was drowning… I wasn't blaming you. Or anyone else. I was drowning in a battle Between me, myself… and I. Funny, isn't it? I thought I could take on the whole world. But the one person I couldn't defeat… Was standing in my mirror. [Verse 1 – Emotional Male Vocal] I fought the storms, I faced the rain, I walked through fire, I carried pain. I stood against a world so wide, But lost the war I fought inside. I knew the rules, I played the game, I wore a smile to hide the shame. A thousand victories outside, One silent battle I couldn't survive. [Pre-Chorus – Ethereal Female Vocal] Where did you go? Why did you hide? Was there a storm behind your eyes? [Male Vocal] I didn't leave to run away, I needed space to find my way. [Chorus – Powerful Emotional Duet] WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME? The man I was or who I'll be? I BEAT THE WORLD BUT LOST TO ME! A prisoner of my own identity! So I disappeared into the night, Not to surrender, but to find my light. I lost myself to set me free… NOW WATCH ME COME BACK TO ME! [Instrumental Drop – Emotional Cinematic Trance] ME! MYSELF! AND I! WE BROKE APART TO LEARN TO FLY! I LOST MY WAY! I LOST MY NAME! BUT I CAME BACK THROUGH THE FLAME! [Verse 2 – Deep Male Vocal] No one pushed me off the edge, I was standing on my own regrets. I kept on running from the truth, Looking for the person I once knew. I didn't need another enemy, I had a thousand doubts inside of me. The hardest thing I had to face Was my reflection in that empty space. [Bridge – Spoken Dialogue, Piano and Cello] [Female Voice] So why did you disappear? [Male Voice] Because I was tired of fighting Someone I didn't understand. [Female Voice] And did you finally win? [Male Voice – Soft Laugh] No. I learned something better. I didn't need to defeat myself. I needed to understand myself. And sometimes… You have to stop fighting The person you're trying to become. [Final Build – Rising Choir, Thunder] I WASN'T RUNNING FROM YOU! I WASN'T HIDING FROM THE WORLD! I WAS SEARCHING FOR THE PART OF ME… I LEFT BEHIND! [FINAL CHORUS – Euphoric Festival Drop] WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME? I'M NOT THE ONE I USED TO BE! I FOUGHT THE WORLD, I FOUGHT MY MIND! THEN LEFT THE BATTLEFIELD BEHIND! I disappeared, but not forever, I came back stronger, wiser, better! No more war with me, myself, and I… WE LEARNED TO LIVE! WE LEARNED TO FLY! [Outro – Deep Male Spoken Voice] So… If you're wondering where I've been… I didn't disappear because of you. I disappeared because… I had someone I needed to find. [Pause] Myself. [Soft Laugh] Ha ha ha… I'm back. And this time… I'm not here to fight myself. I'm here to live. [Music Fades]
