What is it exactly, that makes you who you are?
We all remember
But the past relates so little we’re all at a loss
W e   m e m o r i z e d   t h o s e   w o r d s
And we took them with us everywhere
But you decided to come and take them back


Replaced are the promises of a day long past
And I get the worst of this
Do you remember those days when you were you?
And your last speech
Was full of love and sorrow and never forgets
Second thoughts and wanting to stay here forever


And so now you’re looking for my answer
And I’ll tell you
I’m all out, wasted on making excuses for you
Convincing myself isn’t hard
And now that I’m half gone I believe a lot
But not even I can make me take this


It’s funny how you say “I’m sorry”
Like you almost really mean it
I know those words so well I could call them my own
But you use them so well
And you have practiced so hard
I don’t have half your nerve to steal them
