erika harlacher - who i was lyrics

[verse 1]
when i was four, they told me i should quiet down
so i taught myself to bite my tongue
when i was six, i was afraid to be left out
and broke my arm, reaching for the farthest rung
at seven my best friend said i wasn’t cool
so for the next two years i ate alone at school
at nine i took a test that told them that i was very smart
but by ten i frustrated everyone cause i wouldn’t do my part
to get my work done, they all told me i was lazy
by eleven i was positive that i was crazy
by high school, i had it figured out
what to say, to make the people smile
when to whisper, and sing, and laugh and shout
always with a finger ready on the dial
at times i’d miss a crack and expose a piece
but the looks when they’d react would stutter another crease
suddenly it’s summer and we’re saying our goodbyes
i blink and my surroundings change and so too must my guise
i didn’t see the disconnect till i was in too deep
till the patchwork stranger in the mirror was everyone but me

[chorus]
i put myself inside a box
and i sealed it tight with countless locks
and i hid so long that i forgot
who i was
[verse 2]
when i lost it all i finally looked around
and wondered where i’ve been
rusted armours [?] across the battleground
closed my eyes, and surrendered to the dim
exposed i heard a voice break through
it said, “if i get a choice, i wanna be like you”

[chorus]
i had put myself inside a box
too afraid to open any locks
and i hid so long that i forgot
who i was (who i was)
i kept myside inside their box (inside their box)
wasting time behind my locks (behind my locks)
now i’m trying to learn who i forgot
who i was
all alone
