Lyric

I'M NOT WHO I WAS

YxY

Found an old jacket

In the back of my closet

Still had a ticket

Inside the pocket

From a place

I used to go

With people

I don't see anymore

Tried it on

For a minute or two

It still fit

But it didn't

Feel like me

Nothing was wrong

With who I was

I just don't live

There anymore

I'm not who I was

And that's okay

I changed my mind

I changed my way

Some things I wanted

Don't matter now

Some doors I chased

I'd walk right past

I don't regret

The road behind me

It got me here

It did its job

I'm not who I was

And I think

I like who I'm becoming

Called my old friend

On a Sunday afternoon

We laughed about

The things we used to do

She said

"You sound different now"

I looked outside

And smiled somehow

Maybe she was right

I stopped explaining

Every choice

Stopped making myself

Easy to understand

I spent so long

Trying to stay familiar

To people

Who knew the older me

I'm not who I was

And that's okay

I changed my plans

Along the way

I don't want

What I wanted then

I don't need

To pretend I do

There are parts of me

I left behind

And parts I carried

All this way

I'm not who I was

But she's still

Part of who I am

So here's to the girl

Who stayed too long

Who said yes

When she wanted to go

Who kept the peace

Who followed the plan

Who did the best

With what she had

I don't blame her

I don't miss her

But I understand her now

I'm not who I was

And that's okay

I don't have to

Go back someday

The old address

The old routines

The old idea

Of who I'd be

They can stay

Where I left them

I have somewhere else

To go

I'm not who I was

I'm not finished either

There's still more

I want to know

About this life

About this world

About me

I kept the jacket

Just not

The old version of me
