What Was Beyond Me
You told me you liked the song,
So I learned the whole album.
You told me you liked the book,
So I read the whole library.
You told me you liked me,
So I tried to like me too.
Beyond you, I wasn't anything,
Beyond you, I couldn't function,
Beyond you, I was me.
I was with you through and through
Everything I did was all for you,
you made me worth it, you made me feel good,
until you didn't, and until I didn't.
Beyond you, I was hopeless.
Beyond you, I was alone.
Beyond you, I was me.
The one constant of my life with you was you.
Without you, I was me.
I made myself need you,
I made you the only thing for me.
I made myself a low priority,
When that's what I should have made you.
When I thought you were my one thing,
I learned that you had two.
Once I made you choose,
I was number two.
Now my only constant,
is me.
