I am not who I was

I've been living on the road

Made a buck off my soul

I've been singing stories to the crowd

It's been a while since I've been home

I think about you every night

Wonder what it would've been like

If I stuck around and settled down

Maybe in another life

So, if I fly too far

Will I still have a place inside your heart?

And, when you see what I've become

Will you love me for who I am, not who I was?

You keep me steady on the ground

When my head's lost in the clouds

That spotlight, though it shines bright

Could never drown you out

I know it's hard when I'm away

I'll just hope you don't lose faith

'Cause I told the truth when I said to you

That I'll be back someday

So, if I fly too far

Will I still have a place inside your heart?

And, when you've seen what I've become

Will you love me for who I am, not who I was?

Will you love me for who I am, not who I was?
