I Don't Remember Me

Verse 1
I woke up somewhere
I don't recognize.

There is a ceiling above me,
but I don't know this room.

I look at my hands
and they feel like someone else's.

I keep waiting for a memory
to come back.

Nothing does.

I don't know where I am.
I don't know how I got here.
I don't even know
if anyone is looking for me.

Verse 2
There used to be people.

I know there were.
I can feel it somewhere
in the empty space inside me.

But they left.

One by one.
Without explaining.
Without looking back.

And somehow
I became so easy to abandon
that nobody even noticed
when there was nothing left of me.

Pre-Chorus
I keep asking myself
the same questions.

Who was I?
What did I love?
Who loved me?

I don't know anymore.

Chorus
I don't remember me.

I don't remember the sound
of my own laughter.

I don't remember
what my voice sounded like
before it became afraid.

I don't know what I am
without the people
who told me who I was.

They all disappeared.

And now I'm standing here
with an empty name
and a life I can't remember living.

Verse 3
Sometimes I see my reflection
in a dark window.

I stare at her
for a long time.

She looks exhausted.

I wonder if she's waiting
for someone too.

Maybe she knows
where we belong.

Maybe she remembers
what happened to us.

But she just stares back.

Bridge
I wish someone would come in
and say my name.

Not because they know me.

Just because
I need to hear it
from someone else
to believe it was ever real.

Verse 4
I search through my phone.

There are old photographs.
Old messages.
Pieces of a life
that apparently belonged to me.

I see myself smiling
beside people
I don't recognize anymore.

There is a girl in those pictures
who looks so alive.

I keep wondering
what happened to her.

I think I was supposed to be her.

Chorus
I don't remember me.

I don't remember
what home felt like.

I don't remember
the last time someone
held me and meant it.

I don't know
where I belong now.

I don't know
what I'm supposed to become.

Everyone left me
with pieces of a story,

but nobody stayed
to tell me how it ends.

Final Bridge
Maybe that's the saddest part.

I wasn't only abandoned
by everyone else.

Somewhere along the way,
I abandoned myself too.

I stopped listening
to my own voice.

Stopped asking
what I wanted.

Stopped remembering
that I was once
a person outside
of everyone else's expectations.

Chorus
So here I am.

Alone in a place
I don't recognize,
holding memories
that don't feel like mine.

I don't know where I am.
I don't know who I was.
I don't know what I am now.

And there is nobody left
to tell me.

Nobody waiting outside.
Nobody calling my name.

Just me.

A stranger
wearing the face
of someone
I used to be.

Outro
I sit on the floor
and whisper my name.

Again.

And again.

It sounds unfamiliar.

For a second,
I almost believe
I never existed at all.

Then I start crying.

Not because I remember
who I was.

But because
I can't.
