I Think I Was A Person

I think I was a person before I came here
Now I'm just a question twisted in fear
And I don't have a witness and I don't have a name
I think I'm a body they're trying to save

We held it in the sunshine, we held it in the rain
I shouldn't have married out of pain
I know it's my fault, everything that came
I burned down smaller while you held the flame

I want to live, but not like this
I want to live, but not like this

Standing on my stairs, calling me names
If you could pick it up, you threw it my way
But everything you stole, I found again
I was scared, scared, scared, but I held my place

You saw me as a person before I came here
All you see is the bed and you smell like fear
No one asked you to stay, no one asked you to stay
I had an army of love anyway

I want to live, but not like this
I want to live, but not like this

I might not have time to get it right
But I'm racing the road in the middle of the night
And if there are better days
I'll know that some things can't be burned away

I think I was a person before I came here
Now I'm just a question twisted in fear
And I don't have a witness and I don't have a name
I'm just a body they're trying to save
