Who I Am Hates Who I've Been

I watched the proverbial sunrise
Coming up over the Pacific and
You might think I’m losing my mind,
But I will shy away from the specifics…
'cause I don’t want you to know where I am
'cause then you’ll see my heart
In the saddest state it’s ever been.
This is no place to try and live my life.
Stop right there.
That’s exactly where I lost it.
See that line.
Well I never should have crossed it.
Stop right there.
Well I never should have said
That it’s the very moment that
I wish that I could take back.
I’m sorry for the person I became.
I’m sorry that it took so long for me to change.
I’m ready to be sure I never become that way again
'cause who I am hates who I’ve been.
Who I am hates who I’ve been.
I talk to absolutely no one.
Couldn’t keep to myself enough.
And the things bottled inside have finally begun
To create so much pressure that I’ll soon blow up.
I heard the reverberating footsteps
Synching up to the beating of my heart,
And I was positive that unless I got myself together,
I would watch me fall apart.
And I can’t let that happen again
'cause then you’ll see my heart
In the saddest state it’s ever been.
This is no place to try and live my life.
Who I am hates who I’ve been
And who I am will take the second chance you gave me.
Who I am hates who I’ve been
'cause who I’ve been only ever made me…
So sorry for the person I became.
So sorry that it took so long for me to change.
I’m ready to be sure I never become that way again
'cause who I am hates who I’ve been.
Who I am hates who I’ve been.
