Lyrics for YFWYA

Hello, it's me, sorry it's late I hope you don't mind that I'm calling you I was doom-scrolling half awake Stressed and obsessing like I always do When all at once the strangest thing Spoke to my mind like an epiphany As if forever knew my name I called to tell you what it said to me You were made in the image of the one who loves you More than the 'cause that you place above your time You forgot who you are You forgot who you are You know that you're made out of matter and space But you're more than just atoms with a pretty face and, oh You forgot who you are You've forgotten what you know by heart I guess that's why I'm calling you I'm wondering if I'm finally losing it Is this breakdown or breakthrough? Is this madness or enlightenment? Yeah The signal dies as you reply It's tragicomic, I'm alone again So I, ask the static on the line I say who am I? Who am I again? You were made in the image of the one who loves you More than the 'cause that you place above your time You forgot who you are You forgot who you are You know that you're made out of matter and space But you're more than just atoms with a pretty face, and oh You forgot who you are You've forgotten what you know by heart, yeah, yeah You're a restless soul You're a canvas of skin and bones I know it's hard to let go But you're not made to carry the weight Of the pain you hold, no You forgot who you are You forgot who you are Right before all the scars And right before the broken heart, yeah, yeah Take me back to the start And take me back to the start You forgot who you are You've forgotten what you know by heart
