How can you tell me you know who I am
When part of me doesn't exist?
Maybe it's something that's not really there
Something you couldn't resist

An emptiness is born inside of my soul
A void that I'll never fill
Just broken pieces of what used to be
Pieces that will not heal

Like the sound that's lost in the distance
I've somehow lost my way
I keep trying my best to buy my way out
But I can't find anyone to pay

I tell you, "I'll change" but you know it's a lie
You think you have figured me out
I will be whoever you want me to be
But that's not what love is about

How can you tell me you know who I am?
How can I tell you, "You're wrong?"
I'm broken and used, it's too late to change
I've been this person too long
