I Was Lyrics by Carbide

Temptations

2003

[Verse 1]
Is this right for me?
I can't seem to touch or feel this
It acts like a disease
Eating away at my flesh and bones
I've fallen beneath
Drowning on my own sins
Now I try to keep
Everything you took from me

[Chorus 1]
And you, and you
And you take everything
And you, and you take

[Verse 2]
I try to live
Day by day but it gets harder
When I try to be
Everything you wanted me to be
Why'd you do this to me?
I'm losing touch with myself
Now you want to change
Everything that's left of me

[Chorus 2]
And you, and you
And you take everything
I was, I am, I'll become
And you, and you
Take, take

[Chorus 1]
And you, and you
And you take everything
And you, and you
Take, take

[Verse 3]
It gets hard to see
Through this room of cloud and smoke
I've been stuck in here
For a thousand days of my life
It's because of you
I'm stuck in this hell
All the things I gave
Everything you took from me

[Chorus 1]
And you, and you
And you take everything
And you, and you
Take, take
Take
