Who were you? Before they broke your heart Really, before they told you You couldn't be yourself Before they told you You weren't enough Remember that person? That boy or girl you used to be That child that just didn't care That didn't mind what people were saying Who were you? Before society rejected you And told you to change The way you dressed the way you spoke the way you walked Before that one thing that broke you That destroyed you That made you believe you weren't worth it Who were you? Remember that person? Don't you miss that person That feeling of being free And living carelessly Who were you? No! Who are you- ‘cos you're still that person And this is your story You control this allegory So stop remembering that person and start  being that person Because who are you? You're you and only you LilLaeta

Who were you?
Who were you? Before they broke your heart Really, before they told you You couldn't be yourself Before they told you You weren't enough Remember that person? That boy or girl you used to be That child that just didn't care That didn't mind what people were saying Who were you? Before society rejected you And told you to change The way you dressed the way you spoke the way you walked Before that one thing that broke you That destroyed you That made you believe you weren't worth it Who were you? Remember that person? Don't you miss that person That feeling of being free And living carelessly Who were you? No! Who are you- ‘cos you're still that person And this is your story You control this allegory So stop remembering that person and start  being that person Because who are you? You're you and only you LilLaeta
