i was you

i was you baby

i smiled
you smile
till my mouth
was set
and my face
was tight
and it wasn't right
it was wrong
i was you baby
i was you too long
i said
your words
till my throat
closed up
and i I had
no choice
but to do your song
i was you baby
i was you too long
i lived
your life
till there was
no me
i was flesh
i was hair
but i wasn't there
i was wrong
i was you too long
and baby baby
the worst thing
to it
so who was weak
and who was strong
for too long baby
i was you
