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 try and never become that way again
'cause who I am hates who I've been.
Who I am hates who I've been.

I talked 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
sinking 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.

Stop right there: that's exactly where I lost it.
See that line: I never should have crossed it.
Stop right there: I never should have said that.
It's the very moment that I wish that I could take back.

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 try and never become that way again
'Cause who I am hates who I've been.
Who I am hates who I've been

Who I am hates who I've been
And who I am will take the second chance He 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 try and never become that way again
‘Cause who I am hates who I’ve been.
Who I am hates who I’ve been.
