help me remember

help me remember
who I really am
I lost myself somehow
and I don't know if I can
find myself again
I want to be who I have been

help me remember
who I am inside
I know I'm in trouble
and there's nowhere to hide
I know I'm in here somewhere
if anybody cares

          I used to be somebody who
          was not afraid of something new
          now I don't have a clue
          this is why I'm asking you

help me remember
when I wasn't afraid
when I didn't regret
all the mistakes I have made
I used to be somebody's friend
one day that all came to an end
and I'm the one to blame
help me remember my name

          I used to be a stronger man
          who always tried to understand
          that some things are beyond my command
          help me if you can

help me remember
I need to know because
I have no way to recall
just who I really was
please just do me one last favor
overlook my strange behavior
don't look toward someone else
help me remember
help me remember
help me remember
myself
