I Haven't Been Me Lyrics - Singles - Once Blue

Another sunny Sunday morning finds me inside 

The shadows and light pass through the empty hallway 

I gave my best Mahalia Jackson but nobody cared 

No round of applause acknowledging I was there 

It's been a while since painting a smile 

I welcome them in and sing It Don't Mean a Thing 

I haven't come clean, I haven't been me 

I closed my eyes and tried to find the song, where did it go? 

Somewhere below the cloud of cigarette smoke 

But after all it's only time, I think I would begin from here 

If once in the mirror, I felt there was someone there 

It's been a while since painting a smile 

I welcome them in and sing It Don't Mean a Thing 

I haven't come clean, I haven't been me
