Joy Oladokun


Something's in the water, I'm
Starting to prefer the wine
I drink too much sometimes
I think too much sometimes

Having trouble giving grace
To every one of my mistakes
I keep too much inside
I think I'm getting tired

Closer than I've ever been
To finding my own medicine
To healing this disease of mine
Looking at the face inside the mirror
With kinder eyes

Someone that I used to be
Someonе that I used to need
Always saw the worst in me
It's somеone that I used to be

Someone that I used
Someone that I used to be
Someone that I used
Someone that I used to be

Caught up in the war inside
I've been losing my own mind
Angels and demons fight
I just want some peace and quiet

I'm having trouble letting go
Of everything I used to know
I know that I've been changing
Don't mind that I've been changing

Heart of mine keeps beating on
I'm learning how to face the dawn
My soul is shining in the dark
So blinded by reality
I lost sight of my galaxy
Who am I to tame the stars?

Someone that I used to be
Someone that I used to need
Always saw the worst in me
It's someone that I used to be

Someone that I used
Someone that I used to be
Someone that I used
Someone that I used to be

Someone that I used
Someone that I used to be
Someone that I used
Someone that I used to be
