The Me I Was

I miss the sunrise in my eyes,

The way I laughed without disguise.

Days with friends, no care in sight,

The old me shining in the light.

Verse 2

I miss my memory, I miss my youth,

Thought growing up would bring the truth.

But another day just fades away,

No one to talk to, no words to say.

Pre-Chorus

A pen and paper, my only friends,

Pouring my sorrow that never ends.

I miss my fire, my motivation,

The me that laughed without hesitation.

Chorus

I wanna take back what depression took,

Find the joy that I once overlooked.

Wake up excited, ready to live,

Open my heart, let the world forgive.

I’m chasing the me I thought I lost,

No more chains, no more cost.

I’ll find my laughter, my fight, my sun,

I’ll be the me I was, the only one.

Verse 3

I miss the songs I’d sing out loud,

The way my dreams could touch the clouds.

Every moment felt like gold,

Stories with my friends retold.

Verse 4

I thought adulthood would feel like gold,

But it’s just another day, growing old.

No family, no hand to hold,

Just echoes of a story I’ve been told.

Bridge

It’s a battle, it’s a climb,

But I’m not giving up this time.

Every tear, every fall,

Is just a step toward it all.

I’ll write it down, my grief, my fight,

One word at a time, through the night.

Maybe one day, I’ll see the sun,

The girl I lost, the only one.

Chorus

I wanna take back what depression took,

Find the joy that I once overlooked.

Wake up excited, ready to live,

Open my heart, let the world forgive.

I’m chasing the me I thought I lost,

No more chains, no more cost.

I’ll find my laughter, my fight, my sun,

I’ll be the me I was, the only one.
