Who You Used To Be

You walk into the room, and it's like you disappear
Wearing someone else's face, pretending you don't care
The jokes get sharper, your words cut deep
But I see the cracks where the real you peeks
(Mmm)
What are you hiding?
What do you need?
You were always enough, at least for me
Why do you act like a stranger in a crowd?
This isn't who you are—what's that about?
You turn your back, and I'm left to grieve
For the person you used to be
I miss the way you'd laugh, the way you'd see me
Now I'm lost in the shadow of who you're trying to be
Please understand, you were always enough for me
(Mmm)
What are you chasing? Who do you need to impress?
You're wearing a mask, but it's just making a mess
I see the fight in you to be someone new
But what's so wrong with the real you?
(Mmm)
What are you proving?
Who's worth this pain?
You were enough without this game
Why do you act like a stranger in a crowd?
This isn't who you are—what's that about?
You turn your back, and I'm left to grieve
For the person you used to be
I miss the way you'd laugh, the way you'd see me
Now I'm lost in the shadow of who you're trying to be
Please understand, you were always enough for me
I know you're in there, behind the disguise
But you've got your walls up, and I'm tired of the lies
I don't need perfect, I just need you
But I can't keep reaching if you're not breaking through
Why do you act like a stranger in a crowd?
This isn't who you are—what's that about?
You turn your back, and I'm left to grieve
For the person you used to be
I miss the way you'd laugh, the way you'd see me
Now I'm lost in the shadow of who you're trying to be
Please understand, you were always enough for me
I'll wait for the day when the mask falls away
And you come back to the light where we used to play
(Where we used to play)
But until then, I'm stuck here holding on
To the person you used to be
