Not Who I Am... Anymore

Written by David W Litwin, 2025

Verse 1

Weekends burned with a dive bar glow,

Same old faces, same old show.

We took what we wanted, burned what we lost,

Never looked back or counted the cost.

We’d stay wild, forever free,

At least that’s what I used to believe.

Chorus

But that’s not who I am anymore,

I don’t chase the highs like I did before.

I need something real and pure,

Something with meaning, something sure

I’m not running, just moving on,

‘Cause staying here would feel so wrong.

Verse 2

Same bar, same old scene,

Faces trapped in the same routine.

I tried to tell you there’s more to see,

But you laughed and said, “If Ain’t broke, why leave.”

But I can’t stay and play pretend,

When I know this road will never end.

Chorus

That’s not who I am anymore,

I don’t chase the highs like I did before.

I need something real and pure,

Something with meaning, something sure

I’m not running, just moving on,

Cause staying here would feel so wrong.

Bridge

If you ever awake

see past the highs,

I’ll be waiting under open sky.

I hope one day you’ll understand,

But for now, my heart must let go of your hand.

Final Chorus

Cause that’s not who I am anymore,

I’m not scared of what’s in store.

I need something real, something pure,

Something with meaning, something sure

I’m not running, just moving on,

The weight is gone, my hope is strong.
