"The Me That Remains" lyrics

Coming out of the dark
Coming out of this cave
It's taken me months of days and years
To find my way
My face in the mirror doesn't look the same
But I recognize a light in my eyes
That never did fade
And I'm gonna find
Yeah find and revive
The me that remains

Life cut me wide open
When my head hit the ground
Wasn't my time for dying
Guess my soul just stuck around
And out of this wreckage
I'm beginning to claim
The gifts in the healing
And the me that remains

Coming out of the dark
Stepping into the day
It's taken me months of days and years
Finding my way
When I look in the mirror
So much has changed
But I recognize
A light in my eyes
That never did fade
And I'm gonna find
Yeah, find and revive
The me that remains

I barely can remember
Looking for a change
A whole lot of a little too much
Was always in my way
And whatever angels
Happened to draw my name
I hope they see how proud I am to be
The me that remains

Coming out of the dark
Coming out of this grave
It's taken me months of days and years
Still finding my way
My smile in the mirror
Is enough for today
Reflecting the light
Deep down inside
That never will fade
And I'm gonna try
And always be kind
To the me that remains
To the me that remains
