Who I Was Lyrics Meanings
by RX

I don't know this face
It's not the same somehow
I put your needs ahead of me
And I lost myself
I used to act my age
And let my hair come down
Using my friends for therapy
I wore my welcome out
It's getting to the point where I'm no
No fun to be around no more
If I can make myself not love you
I can close that door
I used to talk about myself less
But now I'm being fucking selfish
Before I met you
I was proud of who I was
Everybody says I'm changing
But I tell myself there ain't no shame in
Looking through your pictures
Now I'm missing who I was
I think I lost my faith
That you would come around
I took my time and energy
And put it in the ground
I've got a poker face
That says I won't back down
I'm hiding the pain inside of me but
This is the hand that I've been dealt now
It's getting to the point where my words
Would never make my mother proud
They sounded better in my own head
Than when I said 'em out loud
I used to talk about myself less
But now I'm being fucking selfish
Before I met you
I was proud of who I was
Everybody says I'm changing
But I tell myself there ain't no shame in
Looking through your pictures
Now I'm missing who I was
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
I used to talk about myself less
But now I'm being fucking selfish
Before I met you
I was proud of who I was
I used to talk about myself less
But now I'm being fucking selfish
Before I met you
I was proud of who I was
Everybody says I'm changing
But I tell myself there ain't no shame in
Looking through your pictures
Now I'm missing who I was

I don't know this face
It's not the same somehow
I put your needs ahead of me
And I lost myself
I used to act my age
And let my hair come down
Using my friends for therapy
I wore my welcome out
It's getting to the point where I'm no
No fun to be around no more
If I can make myself not love you
I can close that door
I used to talk about myself less
But now I'm being fucking selfish
Before I met you
I was proud of who I was
Everybody says I'm changing
But I tell myself there ain't no shame in
Looking through your pictures
Now I'm missing who I was
I think I lost my faith
That you would come around
I took my time and energy
And put it in the ground
I've got a poker face
That says I won't back down
I'm hiding the pain inside of me but
This is the hand that I've been dealt now
It's getting to the point where my words
Would never make my mother proud

But now I'm being fucking selfish
Before I met you

Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh

I used to talk about myself less
But now I'm being fucking selfish
Before I met you
I was proud of who I was
Everybody says I'm changing
But I tell myself there ain't no shame in
Looking through your pictures
Now I'm missing who I was
