Who I Am Hates Who I've Been - Relient K

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.
