What Was I to You? - Kate Miller-Heidke

There are different kinds of loneliness

And I have always been good

Good at raising up the drawbridges

Good at knocking on wood

I could make myself invisible

I could be a better liar

Anything would be better

Than to sit here and wonder

What was I to you?

Some kind of life lesson?

Or something worth forgetting?

Just a stray you let in?

What was I to you?

A stain on your perfect record?

A slip, a blip, a wrong chord?

I get why you had to go

But the thing I really want to know

Is what was I to you?

I can’t claim what I gave away

Keep the fire but not the flame

Feel my face on your face again

Hey, hey

You know I’ve told you this a thousand times

Except I never press 'send'

But anything would be better

Than to sit here and wonder

What was I to you?

Some kind of life lesson?

Or something worth forgetting?

Just a stray you let in?

What was I to you?

A scratch on your favorite record?

A slip, a blip, a wrong chord?

I get why you had to go

But the thing I really want to know

Is what was I to you?

And just in case you were ever wondering

What you were to me

You were the biggest let-down, the one

Who got the power just by being so weak

You wasted all my time

And moved on, oh, at the speed of light

I don’t know what to believe

What was I to you?

A stain on your perfect record?

A slip, a blip, a wrong chord?

I get why you had to go

But the thing I really want to know

Is what was I?

I remember everything you said

That night inside our tent by the torchlight

Do you remember how I made you laugh?

You said, «I hope I die before you»

I remember walking through a forest

You said that you thought we might be dreaming

Then we made it to the top of a waterfall

And we jumped down hand-in-hand and screaming

Remember the feeling?

Remember the feeling?

Remember the feeling?

(What was I to you?)

Remember the feeling?

Remember the feeling?

Remember the feeling?

(What was I to you?)

Remember the feeling?

Remember the feeling?

Remember the feeling?

Remember the feeling?

Remember the feeling?

Remember the feeling?

Remember the feeling?

Remember the feeling?

Remember the feeling?
