How you've been?

Have you told your mother about me?

I heard you've been away to discover yourself or something

But was it worth it when you stole his heart?

Never returned it, but he ain't shift you from the start

Are you working or just wasting your time?

Did I mention that you're still on my mind?

Still that lonely guy

Low yet high

Don't know why I still get at your phone

Can't seem to see myself

Always tried to be myself

But who am I, who am I?
