James Arthur - Remember Who I Was Lyrics






I know I hurt you, I was so unkind
I was ungrateful, I wasted your time
But I was young and lost, so lost
See, you took this poor boy and changed his whole life
Granted his wishes and dreams overnight
And I saw stars, they shot me down
But I deserved it, they knocked me out

I'm just waking up now, in the tears of the one's I love
It's quiet, I'll bet that everybody thinks I'm done
I need to get up now, I've been down here far too long
Two years I've been lost, now I remember who I was
Who I was, who I was

I am the one who beat me black and blue
No one can hurt all your feelings like you
Whoa, I know it, or validate
See, if you're a misfit and feel out of place
Or you don't like how you look, it's okay
'Cause someone will, but you need to love yourself
Don't end up like me, don't end up like me

I'm just waking up now, in the tears of the one's I love
It's quiet, I'll bet that everybody thinks I'm done
I need to get up now, I've been down here for too long
Two years I've been lost, now I remember who I was
Who I was, who I was (I've been down here for too...)
Who I was, who I was

  1. M.... ....

    I love this song it is soo nice

  2. I.... 5....

    Silent night !!!

  3. D.... R....

    Makes me remember that one time Trying to commit suicide at 11. Is the only time I’ve been close, and someone saves me. There was a lot of crying and a hole lot of more depression for me. 9 years with diagnosed depression and I’m only 19. Is not like I really had a bad life, but the bad things that happened were to big for my emotional state. I’ve never remember being happy for more than a week.

    D.... R....

    Same. Im only 17 and i've been hospitalized 3 times just this year. Losing my best friend still have such massive emotional toll on me. Its been some days where his music was the reason to live. I find comfort and hope in his music.

  4. S.... ....

    Absolutely beautiful lyrics and beat. I played this non-stop for about a month. So powerful and relatable.

    Girl: do even want to be with me forever?
    Boy: no
    Girl: do you even like me?
    Boy: no
    Girl: would you cry if I walked away?
    Boy: no
    She heard enough and was hurt..... she walked away with tears in her eyes
    The boy grabbed her arm
    Boy: your not pretty.. your beautiful
    Boy: I don't want to be with you forever... I need to be with you forever
    Boy: I don't like you... I love you
    Boy: I wouldn't cry if you walked away.. I'd die if you walked away.
    Boy whispers: plz stay with me
    Girl: I will
    *tonight at midnight your true love will realize they love you
    *something good will happen to you between 1-4 pm
    *Tommorow it could be anywhere
    *get ready for the shock of your life
    *if you don't post this to 5 other videos... you will have bad luck in relationships for the next 10 years

  29. t.... ....

    This song though. This voice though. The sincerity and passion and pain though. Hmm. I only knew of one song, "say you won't let go" that I'd heard and loved it, not knowing the artist behind the song. Only just a couple months ago did I truly discover James Arthur. WHERE IN THE HELL HAVE I BEEN?!!! Now, i heard a few days ago he is retiring from music. Already? Please don't let that be true.

  30. F.... ....

    this is insane like holy shiit

  31. S.... K....

    At this time, the 290 disliked, don't know who they they were

  32. E.... L....

    Why isn't this going viral this song is so touching...

  33. S.... V....

    This made me cry everytime i listen this song.

  34. b.... 1....

    .....his every songs is just makes me feels better cuz his voice is bless

  35. A.... B....

    The best😭😭😭😭

  36. Y.... I....

    "Don't end up like me. Don't end up like me," and the "I've been down here far too long" at 2:21.

    There's just something about those sentences...something in his voice... You can just hear the pain.

  37. A.... G....

    This is like other James Arthur songs are incredible! I especially replay it over and over again.

  38. P.... O....

    His voice is an inspiration n anyone dat comes across his voice must be tamed

  39. T.... B....

    I could get lost in his music...brings tears to my 👀 i 💘 beautiful lyrics that speaks to me. I once where a misfit.

  40. A.... N....

    tried to understand what he’s trying to deliver since his songs are mostly about him trying to tell what he went through. and it hits me when he said ‘see you took this poor boy and changed his whole life and granted his wishes etc.’ he’s trying to thank everyone who’ve helped him to achieve his dreams but thn he saw ‘stars’ which is fame where it ‘shoot’ him down & ‘knocked’ him out and that’s where everything goes down but now he found himself. ;’)

  41. z.... b....

    james arthur is an angel

  42. b.... w....

    I love him. I love his voice and passion. My perfect man ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
