What happened to me

I wish you knew me when I was me 
So much difference you would see 
My scars were small my hopes were high 
But somehow, that me died

What happened to me 
To the girl i used to be 
What happened to the old me 
Why can't I see 

Where that me bent but never broke 
Never a fire, only some smoke 
That me fought wars and overcame 
This me doesn't even look the same 

What happened to me 
To the girl I used to be 
What happened to the old me 
Why can't I see 

I am now broken, hopeless and lost 
Seems somehow, I paid a cost 
The choices I made were all mine 
There's some sort of flaw in my design 

What happened to me 
What happened to the old me 
What happened to the me I used to be 

You would have loved that version of me 
The sweet, naive, a sight to see 
That's the me I wish you could meet
Not this one, resigned to defeat 

What happened to me 
What happened to the old me 
What happened to me 
And the girl I used to be
