Arise, Sir! - Who I Was Lyrics

I don't know why you still feel like I'm alive
These kinds of things just tend to shrivel and die
If you say you love me I don't think you know what love is
But ignorance still feels like the sweetest goodbye

I know that nothing was what you thought that it could be
And it's too late to say but all you had to do was tell me
So I'll stay low with the feeling
Cause I can't grow so quickly

I realize that who I was is who you despised
Inking every drop out of your saccharine eyes
And though they're dry maybe I can help you
Find the perfect storm that could fill the empty ocean inside

And I don't wear the crown anymore
No my head was too uneasy for that

I know that nothing was what you thought that it could be
And it's too late to say but all you had to do was tell me
So I'll stay low with the feeling
Cause I can't grow so quickly
