I once was the photograph in your room
I once was the baby crying all too soon
I once was the soldier upon your floor
I once was your brother who couldn’t take any more
As you slam the door
I needed to hide myself away for the while
A locked box of treasure buried beneath a smile
I once was the voice on your telephone
I once was your best friend from so long ago
I once was the lover who spoke to your heart
I once was the weakness that ripped you apart
Lord knows I played my part
And all the while I’m tied down to my memory
And all the while I’m a stolen soul that cries to be free
And all the while my dreams they’re still haunting me
I needed to tell you one thing that’s been on my mind
My worst enemy in front of me and searching won’t find it
I needed to tell you one thing that’s been on my mind
Ooh, the daylight is so bright
Oh, the daylight is so bright
Oh Mommy, the daylight is so bright
I want to close up my eyes
I want to close up my eyes
I want to close up my eyes
