Old Me

I remember when you were just a kid.

 

Wasn’t worried bout anyone but yourself and the things you did.

 

You were impatient, imperfect and self-conscious

 

Had no desire to be liked by others; and you had no confidence

 

I always had your back

 

don’t think I forgot about that.

 

You were so sweet, loving and understanding

 

Had a big heart, sensitivity but yea that was the old me.

 

I had to change but for the better; I lost the meaning of “love” and “forever”

 

We both swore that we would always stick together.

 

But I gave up on you, and now it seems I can’t find you.

 

But I stay hoping that one day you will eventually come through.

 

You’re gone and I don’t know where at

 

but I miss the old me, please come back

 

you believed in me, you was there when I needed somebody

 

You swore you’d always be next to me, awake and in my dreams.

 

But I don’t see you, you’re long gone

 

I’m starting to think that you’ll never come back home

 

and if that’s the case, I’ll give up these games

 

I think I might even change my name.

 

Because this name was yours and I don’t deserve it

 

all I did was abandon you and it.

 

Look at what I became, always causing people pain

 

everyone’s ashamed and I’m the one to blame.

 

I’m losing my mind, my faith and hope

 

and I’m starting to think that I can’t cope.

 

Come save me before I ruin it

 

Come save me before I do something stupid.

 

But you’re gone, don’t know where at.

 

But I miss the old me, you gotta come back
