Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've lost friends, and I've lost heroes
I lost everything I am, even my name
Been going through changes and finding clarity
And comfort in just knowing nothing ever stays the same
[Chorus]
They don't tell you when you're born, it's gonna be this way
They don't tell you till you die, it's all a sham
They don't ask you what your name is when you get up to Heaven
And thank God
I couldn't tell her if I had to, who I am
[Verse 2]
There're some days, I ain't okay
And there're some nights, I just wanna die
Then comes morning and the light from that blue sky
But I can't see the sunshine through the thunder in my eyes
[Bridge]
It's too late now for therapy to save me
That old radio still won't play me
I can hold down the line, but I can't kick the can
Life ain't fair, and God is cruel
But at least she ain't the man
[Chorus]
They don't tell you when you're born, it's gonna be this way
They don't tell you when you die, it's all a sham
They don't ask you what your name is when you get up to Heaven
And thank God
I couldn't tell her if I had to, who I am
[Outro]
I couldn't tell her if I had to, who I am
