Everything I Was
Oh, sure,
Take my life, what’s left of it,
It never meant much to me,
You can own all I held sacred,
And who I was, you’ll be,
Jealousy, triumph burns your eyes,
Fed up with all the looks and lies,
I’ll die before the dawn,
Made me wish I wasn’t born,
Take his hand and try to be,
Everything I was,
Though I know you’ll prevail,
Before darkness you will fail,
For you can never hope to be,
Everything I was,
Trapped and lifeless, I have lived,
Unsure, I battled on alone,
Now I’m here, and it’s right at last,
But it will never be my own,
Jealousy, desperately trying to plead,
Can’t you see I’m the one that his world needs?
I’ll die before the dawn,
Made me wish I wasn’t born,
Take his hand and try to be,
Everything I was,
Though I know you’ll prevail,
Before darkness you will fail,
For you can never hope to be,
Everything I was,
Sever my ties to him, burn my body too,
Hope that all I am will pass along to you,
Love him like I should have, your times will be few,
And when you fail to fight, remember this, won’t you?
I’ll die before the dawn,
Made me wish I wasn’t born,
Take his hand and try to be,
Everything I was,
Though I know you’ll prevail,
Before darkness you will fail,
For you can never hope to be,
Everything I was,
"If you were me, then I'd be you, and if I were you, I'd hide somewhere faraway..."
