I, I, I,
I…. I thought…. you’d understand me
I…. I thought…. you’d give a damn
I…. I knew…. it would be risky
For me to show you…. who I really am
When the sun rises it shines every morning
Flowers grow and bloom the way they should do
But inside I hear a voice cry out a warning
I must find the way to break away from you
I…. I.... I…. I don’t know me
I…. I.... I…. I’m not the same
You…. you…. you…. took my sanity
You…. you…. you…. played a game
I…. I gave…. myself completely
I…. I gave…. my love away
I…. I lost…. hold of reality
Trying to please you…. needing love to stay
When the wind blows it brings down the leaves
Scatters them far and wide across the ground
You’ve broken me now I don’t know what to believe
I‘m in bits my sanity lies all around
I…. I.... I…. I don’t know me
I…. I.... I…. I’m not the same
You…. you…. you…. took my sanity
You…. you…. you…. played a game
You didn’t want the real me
I don’t like who I’ve become
You changed my life completely
Let me be me not just someone
I…. I.... I…. I don’t know me
I…. I.... I…. I’m not the same
You…. you…. you…. took my sanity
You…. you…. you…. played a game
I…. I.... I…. I don’t know me
I…. I.... I…. I’m not the same
You…. you…. you…. took my sanity
You…. you…. you…. played a game
