Arnold Hill - Who I Was Lyrics

This house is burning down
The foundation is worn
I'll submit to its sound
And wish for nothing more
A frame of blackened bones
Remembers nothing fast
I think about my home
As I sift through the ash

This gentle rain will wash my face
Like tears from the sky
I have to leave this haunted place
Forget the past I can't erase
Destroy the life I once embraced
Remember me for who I was

A secret memory
Keeps playing in my mind
Like a nickel movie screen
I watch a hundred times
But these streetlights are black
The road closed long ago
No way I'm coming back
No way I could ever go

This gentle rain will wash my face
Like tears from the sky
I have to leave this haunted place
Forget the past I can't erase
Destroy the life I once embraced
Remember me for who I was

This drastic point of view
Is enough to do me in
If I can't keep my word to you
I'll just come back again

But I have to leave this haunted place
Forget the past I can't erase
Destroy the live I once embraced
Remember me for who I was

Remember me for who I was
