Lyrics

[Verse 1]

My old boots know the barn

But they don’t know me

Same dirt on the floor

Different man underneath

The roads got longer

And the days got thin

I keep turning the key

But I don’t fit in

[Pre-Chorus]

Mama says, “Boy, hold on”

But I let go first

Name on my tongue

Feels heavier than worth

[Chorus]

I’m a shell of myself

Just a shadow in the mirror

Used to know my own name

Now it disappears

I’m a shell of myself

Yeah, I’m tryin’ to be somewhere else

But this old heart ain’t home

I’m a shell of myself

[Verse 2]

The town got bigger

But it feels less kind

Faces pass right through me

Like they don’t see my mind

I laugh at the table

But it don’t sound right

Like somebody borrowed me

And left me in the night

[Pre-Chorus]

Mama says, “Boy, hold on”

But I let go first

Name on my tongue

Feels heavier than worth

[Chorus]

I’m a shell of myself

Just a shadow in the mirror

Used to know my own name

Now it disappears

I’m a shell of myself

Yeah, I’m tryin’ to be somewhere else

But this old heart ain’t home

I’m a shell of myself

[Bridge]

If you see the old me

Tell him I came late

Tell him I wore his face

But I lost my way

I got these hands

And I got this frame

But the man I was

Don’t answer my name

[Chorus]

I’m a shell of myself

Just a shadow in the mirror

Used to know my own name

Now it disappears

I’m a shell of myself

Yeah, I’m tryin’ to be somewhere else

But this old heart ain’t home

I’m a shell of myself
