GLASSWOKEN

I'm Not Who You Remember

Life changes us, sometimes in ways even the people closest to us struggle to understand. A song about outgrowing old versions of ourselves, carrying the lessons of our past, and refusing to become someone we no longer are just to make others comfortable.

THE WORDS

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You speak to me as if the room Is waiting for the girl I was The one who filled the quiet Before she knew what silence cost You search my face for something That time was never going to keep I recognise the person But she doesn’t speak for me [Refrain] I’m not who you remember She couldn’t have survived I carry what she gave me But I don’t wear her life Don’t ask me to become her So this can feel the same I’m not who you remember I don’t owe the past my shape [Verse 2] I don’t say that as a weapon Or to make your memory wrong You knew me as I was then Before I learned to stand alone Some of me became more honest Some became harder to reach Some things only found a language When nobody spoke for me [Refrain] I’m not who you remember And neither now are you We carry older versions In the stories we call true Don’t ask me to become her Don’t become him for my sake We are more than what was broken And the choices that we made [Bridge] Look at me Not through me Meet my eyes Not my history I am here Not returning Still unfinished Still becoming [Final Passage] I’m not who you remember But I remember who we were I can honour what was real Without returning to become her If there’s anything between us Let it meet us where we stand Not the people who first promised What they couldn’t understand I’m not who you remember I won’t ask you to pretend If we only know the old us Then we haven’t met again [Outro] So if you’re going to see me— See me now.
