I Looked After Me

I Looked After Me I took care of me along every road, I watched my own steps when you were gone. Without your footsteps beside my own, I learned how to keep walking alone. The smile you never gave to me, I made it myself and called it true. I kept inside what I could save, And gave to strangers what belonged to you. Somewhere along the way I disappeared, Trying to carry what was never mine. I lost my name in borrowed rooms, I lost my face a thousand times. But there I was beneath it all, Still breathing where you couldn't see. I went so far without your hand— And in the end, I found me.
