What Was
Young, standing on the edge of twenty-one
Staring at the man that I’ve become sometimes
When I lose my control
He’s dumb, if you blink he’ll blow up like a gun
Jump into conclusions just for fun, that guy
Needs somebody to hold
He needs somebody he knows
Where the hell did she go?
It kinda makes me feel like
I wish I could change my name
I wish I could start again
Fly me to a lonely place
Where you’ll never see my face
So you never feel the pain of what was
When you’re standing in the rain, calling out my namе
Nothing’s gonna change what was
Cold, driving through my neighborhood alone
Going past thе house, but I’m not home this time
I haven’t been in a while, I haven’t been
‘Cause I’m far away, in another state
Miles away from us
As you try to fan a dying flame
While ashes turn to dust
I wish I could change my name
I wish I could start again
Fly me to a lonely place
Where you’ll never see my face
So you never feel the pain of what was
When you’re standing in the rain, calling out my namе
Nothing’s gonna change what was
Let me start over
To the moment that I left you in tears
It’s a memory that will haunt me for years
And years, and years, and years, and years
Oh, it still does
Oh, it still does
What was
You need somebody to hold
Where the hell did I go?
