Lyrics
What Do I Keep
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.
The name that I have doesn't belong to me
And there's only a circle left where his ring used to be
I'd like to go back to what I was once before
But I'm nobody's little girl any more
What do I keep
What do I throw away
How am I different
What was I yesterday
What can I be tomorrow
When I can't even think of today
How can I ever end my sorrow
When the night doesn't end with the day
When I look around everything seems so strange
And I don't need a mirror to tell me how much I've changed
The things I never thought I could do I have done
But I'm too weak to stop and much too frightened to run
What do I keep
What do I throw away
How am I different
What was I yesterday
And what can I be tomorrow
When I can't even think of today
How can I ever end my sorrow
When the night doesn't end with the day
What do I keep
What do I throw away
How am I different
What was I yesterday
And what can I be tomorrow
When I can't even think of today
How can I ever end my sorrow
When the night doesn't end with the day
When the night doesn't end with the day
What do I keep
What do I throw away
How am I different
What was I yesterday
And what can I be tomorrow
When I can't even think of today
How can I ever end my sorrow
