The song is about how someone changed completely from who he (I mean someone because in my country someone is taken as he but anyway-) were. Now when he tries to ease up he tells about how he made mistakes etc.
[Verse 1]
I finally see what she means when she's alone
Right next to me in a completely different zone
But a fault is a fault and a cry is a cry
I've made some mistakes, no I'm not gonna lie
I've seen the world fall apart right in front of my eyes
I'm a victim of myself in disguise, disguise
[Chorus]
You said we're not who we were
Part of a herd, part of all the crowd lyin'
We're not who we were but we'll always die trying
I'm sorry sir, but we're not who we werе
[Verse 2]
It's times like thesе when I try to ease myself
Complexities beyond anyone else
But I've made some mistakes oh I've fallen down
Fallen deeper than level ground
Oh there are flaws in myself that I go around
But the hole's getting deeper and I hear no sound, no sound
[Chorus]
You said we're not who we were
Part of a herd, part of all the crowd lyin'
We're not who we were but we'll always die trying
I'm sorry sir, but we're not who we were
Were, were, were, were
[Chorus]
You said we're not who we were
Part of a herd, part of all the crowd lyin'
We're not who we were but we'll always die trying
I'm sorry sir, but we're not who we were
You said we're not who we were
Part of a herd, part of all the crowd lyin'
We're not who we were but we'll always die trying
I'm sorry sir, but we're not who we were
Were, were, were, were
