Like I Did

Don’t be so hard on yourself
You weren’t always like this
I know you have to pretend
That you’re heart is cold
And your skin is thick
And where you are
Is where you’ve trained to be
It’s just so hard to watch over
Such a cruel leader when you where
Such a kind lover to me

But then she came along
And brought out something
I haven’t seen in so long

She lights you up like I did
She makes you fight like I did
She makes you love like I did
She’s took your heart like I did
She’s took a part like I did
She’s fallen in love like I did
Only I can’t have you anymore

And oh, how much you have changed
No longer the little grounder girl I knew
Oh, how far you’ve came
With thousands of our people counting on you
I remember our winter nights
We would watch the December sun
Yet here I am, a ghost by your eyes
Whilst you’re fighting guns with guns
Fighting the person you’ve become

But then she came along
And brought out something in you
Something I hadn’t seen in so long

She lights you up like I did
She makes you fight like I did
She makes you love like I did
She’s took your heart like I did
She’s took a part like I did
She’s fallen in love like I did
Only I can’t have you anymore

I hear your prayers at night
You ask what I would do if I was there
What would I do?
You can’t feel my hand on your shoulder
You can’t hear me whisper, I’m proud of you

But she lights you up like I did
She makes you fight like I did
She makes you love like I did
She’s took your heart like I did
She’s took a part like I did
She’s fallen in love like I did

Only I can’t have you anymore
