what you were - zachary lyrics
[verse 1]
i’d find you at your desk but you never smile
those writings on your wall never fail to scare you
you took your chances
[pre-chorus]
you were everything i thought i’d become
now i recognise you in all my faults
and it k!lls me
[chorus]
that i don’t even know what you were
without the enemy
breathing down the back of your neck
i wish you could be what i saw
but in reality
you were only holding me back
i see you there in the things i do
and the man i am
but i know it’s a blessing
that i will never be what you were
despite the enemy begging me to crawl right back
[verse 2]
there’s family in the room
but you’re unaware of the things you’re saying
you tell me that you’re proud but it’s [?]
how do i believe you [?]
[pre-chorus]
you were everything i thought i’d become
but now i recognise you in all my faults
and it tears me
[chorus]
that i don’t even know what you were
without the enemy
breathing down the back of your neck
i wish you could be what i saw
but in reality
you were only holding me back
i see you there in the things i do
and the man i am
but i know it’s a blessing
that i will never be what you were
despite the enemy begging me to crawl right back
[bridge]
you were everything i wished i’d become
and it k!lls me
[chorus]
that i don’t even know what you were
without the enemy
breathing down the back of your neck
i wish you could be what i saw
but in reality
you were only holding me back
i see you there in the things i do
and the man i am
but i know it’s a blessing
that i will never be what you were
despite the enemy begging me to crawl right back
