School Of Seven Bells – When She Was Me lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
When she is me
When she is me
When she was me
When she was me

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
When she is me
When she is me
When she was me
When she was me
