The One I Once 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 cover my weary eyes
Can't face no more of this life
All I lived for is now gone
I've suffered along for far too long
I summon the strength in me
I call upon who I used to be
I summon the strength inside
But it does no longer abide
I call in vain upon who I once was
I can't regain the strength that I long since lost
