What Was

Young, standing on the edge of 21 Staring at the man that I've become sometimes When I lose my control He's dumb, if you blink he'll blow up like a gun Jumping to conclusions just for fun That guy needs somebody to hold He needs somebody he knows Where the hell did she go? It kinda makes me feel like I wish I could change my name I wish I could start again Fly me to a lonely place Where you'll never see my face So you never feel the pain of What was When you're standing in the rain Calling out my name Nothing's gonna change What was Cold, driving through my neighborhood alone Going past the house but I'm not home this time Haven't been in a while I haven't been, 'cause I'm far away In another state miles away from us As you try to fan a dying flame While ashes turn to dust I wish I could change my name I wish I could start again Fly me to a lonely place Where you'll never see my face So you'll never feel the pain of What was When you're standing in the rain Calling out my name Nothing's gonna change What was Let me start over The moment that I left you in tears Is a memory that will haunt me for years And years, and years, and years, and years Oh, it still does Oh, it still does What was You need somebody to hold Where the hell did I go?
