if she met me today she wouldn't know me
I've become a stranger to myself
whenever I do feel I'm feeling lonely
I left myself on a forgotten shelf
call my name
see if I remember
I could look at you
you wouldn't recognize
the stranger I've become
doesn't know me
just a wasted shell of someone
I used to be
I don't feel I belong to this species
but I've learned to play the game so well I pass
if you met me today you wouldn't know me
I used to think that promises were meant to last
I've kept mine
except for taking care of me
left behind
are all the things I used to be
and the dreams
I close my eyes and no longer see
did it have to be this way
would you look at me today
caught between wasting away
and the games people play
I don't feel I have reason to continue
but I've learned to play the game so well I pass
if you stayed long enough I might have been you
I used to think that love was meant to last
bridge the gap
I wonder
if it will ever be done
one sad sap
and thunder
storms had me on the run
now I just lay out in the rain
maybe I am done
if she met me today she wouldn't know me
I've become a stranger to myself
whenever I do feel I'm feeling lonely
I left myself on a forgotten shelf
call my name
see if I remember
I could look at you
you wouldn't recognize
the stranger I've become
doesn't know me
just a wasted shell of someone
I used to be
I don't feel I belong to this species
but I've learned to play the game so well I pass
if you met me today you wouldn't know me
I used to think that trust was meant to last
today I don't know
Today
