Who Am I
Indiana Evans Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never saw what was coming at me
I didn't hear what was said
What I held in the palm of my hands
Was it just in my head

It never worked out that way
I thought that you meant to stay, yeah
But who am I before you start to run baby
Who am I to all I see
Who am I to hope that we are one darling
Who am I can you hear me?

Glad to tell yo my love was real
And tell my heart out over you
When I turning back from the truth now
Help me see always through

And all the promises we made
Are there the ones that we break?
But who am I before you start to run baby
Who am I to all I see
Who am I to hope that we are one darling
Who am I can you hear me?

Who am I before you start to run baby
Who am I to all I see
But Who am I to hope that we are one darling
Who am I can you hear me?




Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

I never saw what was coming at me
I was unaware of what was headed my way


I didn't hear what was said
I was deaf to what was being communicated


What I held in the palm of my hands
The thing in my possession


Was it just in my head
Was it only a figment of my imagination


It never worked out that way
Things didn't turn out as planned


I thought that you meant to stay, yeah
I believed that you intended to remain with me


Glad to tell yo my love was real
It's my pleasure to confirm that my affection was genuine


And tell my heart out over you
To express my emotions for you openly


When I turning back from the truth now
As I'm moving away from honesty at the moment


Help me see always through
Assist me in always seeing clearly


And all the promises we made
The commitments we pledged to each other


Are there the ones that we break?
Did we not keep them as we vowed?


Who am I before you start to run baby
What's my identity before you choose to leave, my dear?


Who am I to all I see
What role do I play to those around me?


Who am I to hope that we are one darling

Are you listening to me?


Can you hear me?
Are you paying attention to what I'm saying?
