The old me,
I don't like the way that sounds,
what was your name?
Oh, I used to know you so well,
you started out in empty rooms,
you emptied them out and made it quiet,
now look where we are,
tell me, how did we get here?
The real me,
does that sound right?
What was your name?
Oh, I used to know you so well.
But now I feel it,
the uncertainty,
oh, I feel the pressure now that you're gone,
So how did we come to this?
I heard once
that it's just the fiction we live,
but reality is no dream,
what's there to hope for
if this is all there is?
Now you really owe me,
for everything you've taken away,
so tell me, what was your name?
Oh, I didn't know you that well
