I wish you could see me now
I wish I could show you how
I'm not who i was

Used to be mad at you
A little on the hurt-side too
But i'm not who I was

I found my way around
To forgiving you, sometime ago
But I never got to tell you

So..

I found us in a photograph
I Saw me and I had to laugh
You know, I'm not who I was

Ooo, there you were right above me
And I wonder if you ever loved me
Just for who i was

When the pain came back again
Like a bitter friend
It was all that I could do
To keep myself from blaming you

Ooo..

Thinking that it's a funny thing
Figured out I can sing
Now I'm not who i was

I write about love and such
Maybe 'cause I want it so much
I'm not who i was

I was thinkin' maybe I
Should let you know
That I am not the same
But I never did forget your name

Hello

Ooo, a-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah

But the thing I find most amazing,
The amazing grace
Is the chance to give it up
Maybe that's what love is all about

I wish you could see me now
I wish I could show you how
I'm not who i was
