I hold your picture close,
the one from in the park
I recall our last nights
as I lay in the dark
-break-
A silent and blank stare,
numb to the point of cold
Seeing all that once was
and what's left to unfold
-break-
An icy brush with death
that's been forcing my hand
I forget why I'm here...
I still don't understand...
I look at myself now
and at how far I've come
Am I ignorant now or
do I know what I've done?
(Chorus)
It's not like me
to see the good in everybody
and it's not like me
to be the one to believe
it's not like me
I've never painted a
clearer picture for you
I never even tried
to tell you what to do
It's not like me,
to know that I'm gonna fall
and it's not like me,
to let my esteem grow tall
it is like me,
to see the cup half empty
but it's not like me,
to still hold on and believe
it's not like me,
it's not like me
it's not like me,
it's not like me
