Who I Was
Finding Strength Amidst Loss: Unveiling the Depths of 'Who I Was' by Abbie Thomas
Lyrics
I've got something to say
I have something important to express
But I don't know how
Uncertain about how to articulate my thoughts
The words that are coming to my mind
The words in my mind don't feel appropriate
Just don't seem right
Struggling to find the right words
Sometimes I feel like I'm damaged
Feeling emotionally wounded or scarred
Like I've been through too much
Sense of having endured significant challenges
I wonder if I'll ever be the same
Questioning if I'll ever recover or return to my previous state
Or if I'll ever be enough
Doubtful about being adequate or sufficient
'Cause I miss who I was
Expressing a longing for my past self
Wish you could have known
Desiring others to understand the person I used to be
The mountains I moved
Referencing challenges overcome in the past
The strength I had
Highlighting inner strength that existed
Was a sight to see
Emphasizing the remarkable nature of my past strength
Now it's just a memory
Reflecting on the loss of that past strength
You ask how I'm doing
People inquire about my well-being
And tell me you're here for me
Offering support, but there's doubt about its authenticity
But I can't help but wonder
Questioning the reasons behind others' love
Why you even love me
Uncertain about the sincerity of affection
I can't seem to let go
Struggling to release something I once held
Of what I held in my hands
Moving forward is exceptionally challenging
Moving on is terribly hard
Grieving the loss of my former self
I'm mourning the loss of myself
Expressing mourning for the past version of myself
'Cause I miss who I was
Reiterating a desire for my previous self
Wish you could have known
Repeating the wish for understanding of past achievements
The mountains I moved
Recalling overcoming significant challenges
The strength I had
Remembering past inner strength
Was a sight to see
Reiterating the remarkable nature of past strength
Now it's just a memory
Highlighting the past as a mere memory
And I know, that I can't, no I can't go back
Acknowledging the impossibility of returning to the past
To being strong, and carrying on, without a bump or a scratch
Expressing difficulty in maintaining resilience without flaws
Use to be somebody, that always stood tall
Formerly a person who stood tall and strong
Now I'm bending in the breeze
Currently feeling flexible and vulnerable
I miss who I was
Reiterating a longing for the past self
Wish you could have known
Repeating the desire for understanding of past achievements
The mountains I moved
Recalling overcoming significant challenges
The strength I had
Remembering past inner strength
Was a sight to see
Reiterating the remarkable nature of past strength
Now it's just a memory
Emphasizing the past as a mere memory
