Lyrics Brandi Carlile

Brandi Carlile

That Wasn't Me

Hang on, just hang on for a minute

I've got something to say

I'm not asking you to move on or forget it

But these are better days

To be wrong all along and admit it, is not amazing grace

But to be loved like a song you remember

Even when you've changed

Tell me, did I go on a tangent?

Did I lie through my teeth?

Did I cause you to stumble on your feet?

Did I bring shame on my family?

Did it show when I was weak?

Whatever you've seen, that wasn't me

That wasn't me, oh that wasn't me

When you're lost you will toss every lucky coin you'll ever trust

And you'll hide from your God like he ever turns his back on us

And you will fall all the way to the bottom and land on your own knife

And you'll learn who you are even if it doesn't take your life

Tell me, did I go on a tangent?

Did I lie through my teeth?

Did I cause you to stumble on your feet?

Did I bring shame on my family?

Did it show when I was weak?

Whatever you've seen, that wasn't me

That wasn't me, oh that wasn't me

But I want you to know that you'll never be alone

I wanna believe, do I make myself a blessing to everyone I meet

When you fall I will get you on your feet

Do I spend time with my family?

Did it show when I was weak?

When that's what you've seen, that will be me

That will be me, that will be me

That will be me
