When She Was Me - School of Seven Bells

He stays
I hold
Those days close to my heart
I know that we were good
The best you
The best me
We couldn't see the dark for the light
I didn't see it coming
When she creeps in
She's like a second skin
She gets into my veins and I can't sleep a wink
And so I drown the fire till I can't feel a thing
The lies I tell myself to keep the world in place
Begin to burn away until it's all over again
And nothing's left to save
When she is me
When she is me
When she was me
When she was me
I wish I could undo all of the pain
Of what I put you through
The things I said
The things I lost
Will haunt me till the end of my days
I know that I was wrong
When I lost hold of what I believed
And I let you go
I knew that everything
I thought for sure I knew had made a fool of me
So I had to know you were the enemy
Because I couldn't face that I had let her in again
And I was so ashamed
When she creeps in
She's like a second skin
She gets into my veins and I can't sleep a wink
And so I drown the fire till I can't feel a thing
The lies I tell myself to keep the world in place
Begin to burn away until it's all over again
And nothing's left to save
When she is me
When she is me
When she was me
When she was me
