I Was You
Author Undisclosed


I smiled your smile
‘til my mouth was set
And my face was tight
And it wasn’t right
It was wrong.
I was you baby,
I was you too long.

I said your words
‘til my throat closed up
And I had no voice
And I had no choice
But to do your song.
I was you baby,
I was you too long.

I lived your life
‘til there was no me
I was flesh
I was hair
But I wasn’t there.
It was wrong.
I was you baby,
I was you too long.

And baby, baby
The worst thing to it
Is that you let me do it.
So who was weak
And who was strong?
For too long baby
I was you.
