I Haven't Been Me

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 thereIt'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 meI 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 thereIt'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
