Lyrics

Every year goes by
Never ending change and I
Start to miss the ones I've kept the closest to me
(Their names spoken now in memory)
I've always tried to carry my
Words without deceptive 'cause but clear objective
(I've shed the youth I lived in)
My head feels so heavy
My heart follows suit
Is this what I wanted to turn into?
You don't have to stay
And wonder who I've become, become
I'm the story of the one you used to love
I'm the story of the one you used to love
Everytime that I
Never seem to answer why
I'm ignorin' all the calls from home to be alone
A foreign voice or dial tone? Oh
I'm ignorin' all the calls from home to be alone
A foreign voice or dial tone?
My head feels so heavy
My heart follows suit
Is this what I wanted to turn into?
You don't have to stay
And wonder who I've become
(You don't have to stay)
Become
(You don't have to stay)
Your eyes look so heavy
I had to concede
Is this what you wanted to prove to me?
You don't have to stay
And wonder who I've become
Who have I become?
I'm the story of the one you used to love
(The story of the one you used to love)
I'm the story of the one you used to love
(I spent the morning looking down at the baggage claim)
(Yesterday, your hand in mine)
(Sitting as you laid a world away)
(And now the words soak into my head)
(That your chest has stilled)
(And I'll never see you again)
(I'll never see you again)
I swear to God I tried
To come back home
Be by your side
To hold you close
While the sorrow spread
To divide us both
I swear to God I tried
I swear to God I tried
(I'm the story of the one you used to love)
I didn't want this
(I'm the story of the one you used to love)
I didn't want this
I swear to God I tried
(I'm the story of the one you used to love)
To come back home
Be by your side to hold you close
While the sorrow spread
(I'm the story of the one you used to love)
To divide us both
I swear to God I tried
I swear to God I tried, I tried
