lost me

used to think
i had to entertain
to go insane
to keep someone
near

used to think
that what i did
mattered more than
who i was

used to think
that the shadow
of you
walking past
my soul

was all that i needed

i lost
my mind
for you

when did
sensibility
come back?

i lost
my nerve
for you

when did
vulnerability
go away?

i was so little
so little
so little

how did i grow up
so fast?
