What You Were lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'd find you at your desk but you never smile
Those writings on your wall never fail to scare you
You took your chances

[Pre-Chorus]
You were everything I thought I'd become
Now I recognise you in all my faults
And it kills me

[Chorus]
That I don't even know who you were
Without the enemy
Breathing down the back of your neck
I wish you could be what I saw
But in reality
You were only holding me back
I see you there in the things I do
And the man I am
But I know it's a blessing
That I will never be what you were
Despite the enemy begging me to crawl right back

[Verse 2]
There's family in the room
But you're unaware of the things you're saying
You tell me that you're proud but it's lackin' depth
How do I believe you and

[Pre-Chorus]
You were everything I thought I'd become
But now I recognize you in all my faults
And it tears me

[Chorus]
That I don't even know who you were
Without the enemy
Breathing down the back of your neck
I wish you could be what I saw
But in reality
You were only holding me back
I see you there in the things I do
And the man I am
But I know it's a blessing
That I will never be what you were
Despite the enemy begging me to crawl right back

[Pre-Chorus]
You were everything I wished I'd become
And it kills me
[Chorus]
That I don't even know who you were
Without the enemy
Breathing down the back of your neck
I wish you could be what I saw
But in reality
You were only holding me back
I see you there in the things I do
And the man I am
But I know it's a blessing
That I will never be what you were
Despite the enemy begging me to crawl right back
