Hold on

So I found that semi-lame Jet song I used to listen to a lot before and after my mom died.
I've always had this small feeling that my testimony is somewhat false, because I talk about why I felt the way I did, like I was wearing a mask, but I didn't know that at the time, so how do I know that's not just my perception of it now, but it could have just been who I was then?
Then I heard this song, and remembered why I liked it. Because the lyrics just seemed to make sense to me. I don't know, it was just a really strange revelation for me.
Maybe the me now knows the me then better than I thought I did.

You tried so hard to be someone
That you forgot who you are
You tried to fill some emptiness
‘Til all you had spilled over
Now everything is so far away
That you don’t know where you are, you are

When all that you wanted
And all that you had
Don’t seem so much
For you to hold on to
For you to belong to

When it’s hard to be yourself
It’s not to be someone else
Still everything is so far away
That you forget where you are, you are

When all that you wanted
And all that you had
Don’t seem so much
For you to hold on to

Hold on

When all that you wanted
And all that you had
Don’t seem so much
For you to hold on to
For you to belong to
