Not Who I Use To Be

I’m not who I use to be
Something inside has changed
I’m not who I used to be
I’m slowly becoming deranged.

I’m not who I use to be
After you had gone
I’m not who I used to be
I’m finding it difficult to move on.

I use to be the girl
Always full of smiles.
I use to be the girl
Who thought life was worthwhile.

I’m not who I use to be
My hearts been misplaced.
I’m not who I use to be
I miss your handsome face

I’m not who I use to be
I keep wishing u were still here
I’m not who I use to be
I’m incomplete without u near.

I use to be the girl 
Full of advice to all in need
I use to be the girl
Who always succeeds.

I’m not who I use to be
I doubt I will ever be the same.
I’m not who I use to be
I feel as though it’s all in vain.

Shattered into pieces
Is this really me?
Shedding tears at night
This is not how I use to be…!
