There’s a story I once knew
But I’ve forgotten now
It’s become like time in an hourglass
Sliding further away
Like the time I once knew
                                who I was...

I was a loner
I was a child
I knew I wasn’t good enough
For him, or her, or them
I was a drifter
I was a dreamer
I knew I was never gonna be important
Like Martin, Cher, or Armstrong

But you came
You messed up my reality
Pulled the floor from under me
That’s when I fell and bumped my head
And since then?
Well I seem to have forgotten that story

The one about my life

There’s a girl I once knew
But we haven’t spoken for awhile now
She’s turned into a missing person
Who isn’t missed at all
Like the days I used to know
                                     who I was...

I was a sinner
I was a lying snake
I knew I wasn’t worth saving
Or the time, the space, the energy
I was careless
I was angry
I knew I’d never fall in love
Like in the books, movies, or any dream

But you came
You shook up my world
Pushed me into a different state of mind
That’s when I opened my eyes
And since then?
Well I seem to have forgotten that girl

The one I called “me”

There’s a story I know
Though it has no ending yet
It’s beginning was the end
The end for a girl
The girl who knew
                    who she was...

She was different
She was strange
She knew deep inside there were better times ahead
For herself, her story, her life
She was timid
She was afraid
She knew the pain change could bring
But she waited, didn’t run, stood strong

Then you came
Tossed her around
Held her close while she cried
That’s when she shifted inside
And since then?
Well she’s rewriting that story

The one about her life
