I've seen this face before   It somehow looks familiar   Tattered and weatherworn   A sad, pathetic creature      And once you stood so strong   Your eyes alight with promise   You vowed to carry on   A heart once beat in your chest      Cut forward to another day   Another time, another place   You're not who you used to be   And I wonder why      CHORUS    I knew you once   When you were young   Before you knew   What you'd become   But that was then   And this is now   You've lost your way   You've fallen down      You can't just walk away   You can't choose to ignore me   I stand in front of you   A stranger stands before me      What happened to the boy   Head filled with aspirations   His dreams within his reach   His life a celebration?      Cut forward to another day   Another time, another place   You're not who you used to be   And I wonder why      (CH)      And now there's nothing left   Your face a pale reflection   With only emptiness   You've lost your life's direction      What happened to the man   Who couldn't be defeated   Who always stood his ground   When lesser men retreated?      Cut forward to another day   Another time, another place   You're not who you used to be   And I wonder why       (CH)
