about

What Once Was is a track inspired by a turbulent relationship and the effect it had on both people involved. The first verse details how one individual has struggled to let go of the emotional scars left by not just his former partner, but also those he inflicted upon himself and his friends through his actions, 'that part of me'. the second verse is written from the other person's perspective, and how they felt left behind by their partner who they felt no longer wanted to help them. in their eyes, their partner abandoned them when they needed them most, and rather than help they let them drown in their problems, on their own. The chorus details how the relationship left one person emotionally damaged, feeling less than themselves, almost broken, however, the chorus also tells us that, with the right people around you, you can remember who you are and recover, no matter how hurt you may be.

lyrics

Tried so hard
To forget what we were
From that I can’t escape
That part of me
I Climbed out from the wreckage
Of what once was
And walked away

You took my strength
You took my ambition
Every night all I could do was listen
As you twisted my words and made me out the bad guy
Took me a while
To realise I was wrong
It was a matter of time till the feelings were gone
I needed help to remember the things that made me stronger

Never really stood a chance,
I knew right from first glance
That you were trouble
But I dove in anyway
You left me in the wreckage
Tied to a cinderblock
And let me drown
On my own

You took my strength
You took my ambition
Every night all I could do was listen
As you twisted my words and made me out the bad guy
Took me a while
To realise I was wrong
It was a matter of time till the feelings were gone
I needed help to remember the things that made me stronger
