Benson Boone - What Was (Official Lyric Video)

Official Lyric Video for "What Was" by Benson Boone

Lyrics:
Young 
Standing on the edge of 21 
Staring at the man that I become sometimes 
When I lose my control 
  
He’s dumb 
If you blink he’ll blow up like a gun 
Jumping to conclusions just for fun 
That guy needs somebody to hold 
  
Needs somebody he knows 
Where the hell did she go 
It kinda makes me feel like 
  
I wish I could change my name 
I wish I could start again 
Fly me to a lonely place 
Where you never see my face 
So you never feel the pain of 
What was 
When you’re standing in the rain 
Calling out my name 
Nothing’s gonna change what was 
  
Cold 
Driving through my neighborhood alone 
Going passed the house but I’m not home this time 
I haven’t been in a while 
Haven’t been ‘cause I’m far away 
In another state 
Miles away from us 
As you try to fan 
A dying flame 
While ashes turn to dust 
  
I wish I could change my name 
I wish I could start again 
Fly me to a lonely place 
Where you never see my face 
So you never feel the pain of 
What was 
When you’re standing in the rain 
Calling out my name 
Nothing’s gonna change what was 
  
Let me 
Start over 
The moment that I left you in tears  
Is a memory that will haunt me for years and years and years and years and years 
  
Oh it still does 
Oh it still does 
What was 
You need somebody to hold 
Where the hell did I go?
