Lyrics: Brandon Lewis?
Music: Brandon Lewis?
Played by Grahame Lesh with the Phil Lesh Trio in 2012. I'm not sure what song it is. I guess the most likely is
the Brandon Heath song "I'm Not Who I Was". But it's possible, for example, that it's the Alicia Keys song "Brand New Me"
which starts "It's been a while, I'm not who I was before".
This is the Brandon Lewis song:
I wish you could see me now
I wish I could show you how
I'm not who I was
I used to be mad at you
A little on the hurt side too
But I'm not who I was
I found my way around
To forgiving you some time ago
But I never got to tell you so
I found us in a photograph
I saw me and I had to laugh
You know I'm not who I was
You were there, you were right above me
And I wondered if you ever loved me
Just for who I was
When the pain came back again
Like a bitter friend
It was all that I could do
To keep myself from blaming you
Thinking it's a funny thing
Figured out I could sing
Now I'm not who I was
I write about love and such
Maybe 'cause I want it so much
I'm not who I was
I was thinkin' maybe I
Should let you know
That I am not the same
That I never did forget your name
Hello
And the thing I find most amazing
In amazing grace
Is the chance to give it out
Maybe that's what love is all about
I wish you could see me now
I wish I could show you how
I'm not who I was
