I Wonder Where I Am

Before my first heartbreak
Before I'd been done wrong
I was a happy man
Who loved heart and soul

But now I'm a shadow
Of the man I once was
It's like I've built up walls
It's like I've given up

Where has my heart gone
Why has my passion all died
Though I spread my wings
I can no longer fly

Who have I become
Oh how I miss that good man
I lost him so long ago
I wonder where I am

Cause the man that I gave her
Is so little of me
He's just pieces of the once was
This I believe

My happy's just contentment
My contentment's a lie
The degree of my sorrow
Is now something I hide

For somehow I lost me 
In the blink of an eye
The man who I once was
The man who loved life

So I go on without him
I find peace through the strife
Hoping my wish is granted
Hoping I realize

That though he is gone
What remains to this day
Is for those pieces though fallen
To soon be reclaimed
