The Old Me

The old me

How hard for me it is to plan
To go for drinks
Be who I am

It's who I was that you all know
The new me now, so pained and slow

I knew tonight
That old me has gone
The light so bright that once shone 
Taken early so unfair
From days I looked forward to doing my hair

'But you look so normal, you look so well'
Well I'm afraid inside I feel like hell
