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 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
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
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 try and never become that way again
‘Cause who I am hates who I’ve been
Who I am hates who I’ve been
