It could make me wanna sit down and cry, Everything we'll ever be has to die, Everything we ever were is dead, I cannot believe what I've had It could make me wanna turn around, I don't wanna be lost and not found, Everything that I lose, it just turns me upside down Whatever I did on the way to becoming myself, Here, today, all the skins that I shed like a snake have gone astray I could not be me, I could not feel me, 'cause I realize I can't be just what I used to be If I could only bring it back forever (3x) Forever! You don't know just what it means to me, I could never go back to be the way I used to be Believe me deep inside I think it's killing me I could live I could die, I could pray I could try to be me, but I can't be me!
I remember me as a child, Now my fantasies running wild, Like a smell or a taste from the past, This reminds me of me Everything that I used to do, I was so small, everything was new, I never knew, what I'd grow up into I remember the fear and the pain, I remember the joy just the same, I remember myself like a friend from days gone by I could not be me, I could not feel me, 'Cause I realize I can't be just what I used to be If I could only bring it back forever (3x) Forever!
I tried and tried to ease the pain, But now I'm gone and I cannot come home again Where's the little boy, that I used to be, Of everything that I've lost I never wanted to lose me, Use me up like a battery-pack, I never wanted to leave, But now I can't come back, I never felt it before, But I feel it here today, I wanna make it stay... But the memories fade away!
