Who Am I

And so the story goes
A girl in tattered clothes
A dream that was so close
She could taste it

Three years
And what to show for it?
Everybody says that
You should go for it
Then everybody leaves you
Lying on the pavement

Why do I do this
I put myself through this
Yeah I should know better
Than jumping in head first
Lately I'm losing
This silence is bruising
It's my fault for choosing this

Who am I?
When everything I've know
Is stripped away
Underneath it all
Am I still the same?
Who am I?
For better or for worse
I need to know
If I'm gonna find my way home

And it's hard for me to eat
When I get down
I lost more than 20 pounds
I lost all my solid ground
In the current

And I've wondered if God hears my prayers
And I've cried out to see if He cares
And when I hit rock bottom I swear
I could feel Him there

Who am I?
When everything I've know
Is stripped away
Underneath it all
Am I still the same?
Who am I?
For better or for worse
I need to know
If I'm gonna find my way home

Lately I'm losing
This silence is bruising
My fault for choosing this

Who am I?
When everything I've know
Is stripped away
Underneath it all
Am I still the same?
Who am I?
For better or for worse
I need to know
If I'm gonna find my way home
To who I am
