Lyrics What You Were - ZACHARY

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

You were everything I thought I'd become
Now I recognize you in all my faults
And it kills me

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

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

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

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

You were everything I wished I'd become
And it kills me

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
