I Haven't Been Me

Another sunny Sunday morning finds me inside The shadows and light pa*s 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
