"Who I Am" lyrics - STURGILL SIMPSON

I've lost friends and I've lost heroes
I lost everything I am, even my name
Been going through changes and finding clarity
And comfort in just knowing nothing ever stays the same

[Chorus:]
They don't tell you when you're born it's gonna be this way
They don't tell you until you die it's all a sham
They don't ask you what your name is when you get up to Heaven
And thank God
I couldn't tell her if I had to who I am

There's some days I ain't okay
And there's some nights I just wanna die
Then comes morning and the light from that blue sky
But I can't see the sunshine through the thunder in my eyes

[Bridge:]
It's too late now for therapy to save me
And that old radio still won't play me
I can hold down the line, but I can't kick the can
Life ain't fair and God is cruel, but at least she ain't the man

[Chorus:]
They don't tell you when you're born it's gonna be this way
They don't tell you when you die it's all a sham
They don't ask you what your name is when you get up to Heaven
And thank God
I couldn't tell her if I had to who I am
I couldn't tell her if I had to who I am
