Who Did You Think I Was?
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I got half a smile and zero shame
I got a reflection with a different name
Got a brand new blues that I can't explain
Who did you think I was?
Every morning when the day begins
I make up my mind to change it back again
I am a shifter of the shape I'm in
Who did you think I was?
You got my number but I always knew the score
Who did you think I was?
Am I the one who plays the quiet songs?
Is he the one who turns the ladies on?
Will I keep shining til my light is gone?
Who did you think I was?
You got my number but I always knew the score
Who did you think I was?
Here is a line you won't understand
I'm half of the boy but I'm twice the man
I carry the weight of the world in the palm of my hand
Who did you think I was?
Who did you think I was?
