When She Was Me - School of Seven Bells

He stays;

I hold

those days close to my heart

I know that we were good

The best you, the best me we couldn’t see the dark for the light

I didn’t see it coming

When she creeps in, she’s like a second skin

She gets into my veins and I can’t sleep a wink

And so I drown the fire till I can’t feel a thing

The lies I tell myself to keep the world in place

begin to burn away until it’s all over again

and nothing’s left to save

When she is me When she is me When she was me When she was me I wish I could undo all of the pain

of what I put you through

The things I said, the things I lost

will haunt me till the end of my days

I know that I was wrong

When I lost hold of what I believed

and I let you go, I knew that everything

I thought for sure I knew had made a fool of me So I had to know you were the enemy

because I couldn’t face that I had let her in again

and I was so ashamed

When she creeps in, she’s like a second skin

She gets into my veins and I can’t sleep a wink

And so I drown the fire till I can’t feel a thing

The lies I tell myself to keep the world in place

begin to burn away until it’s all over again

and nothing’s left to save

When she is me When she is me When she was me When she was me
