I Will Never Be The Same

Melissa Etheridge · Yes I Am [1993]

So you walked with me for a while, bared your naked soul

And you told me of your plan

How you would never let them know

In the morning of the night, you cried a long lost child

And I tried, oh, I tried to hold you

But you were young and you were wild



But I, I will never be the same

Oh I, I will never be the same

Caught in your eyes, lost in your name

I will never be the same



Secrets of your life I never wanted for myself

But you guarded them like a lie

Placed up on the highest shelf

In the morning of the night when I woke to find you gone

I knew your distant devil must be draggin' you along



But I, I will never be the same

Oh I, I will never be the same

Caught in your eyes, lost in your name

I will never be the same



And you swore that you were bound for glory

And for wanting, you had no shame

But I loved you and then I lost you

And I will never be the same



But I, I will never be the same

Oh I, I will never be the same

Caught in your eyes, lost in your name

I will never be the same



I, I will never be the same

Oh I, I will never be the same

Caught in your eyes, lost in your name



Caught in your eyes, lost in your name

I will never be the same
