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 [bad word] 
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

When she is me 
When she is me 
When she was me 
When she was me

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

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

When she is me 
When she is me 
When she was me 
When she was me
