"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

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.

* just how Im feeling as I continue to work through my inventory. thanks for reading

Life is a learning process...I am older than dirt...and still learning from my mistakes, from my past. There is no place in my being to hate, me or anyone else.

Keep your resolve and put one foot ahead of the other, left, right, left, right, keep looking forward, not behind you, the past is just that...the past. Each day is a new opportunity to better ourselves, grasp the opportunity...it is a gift!

have you listened to "for the moments I feel faint" by them? its a good one too. I just have to be careful and remember it means hope for me, not necessarily hope for my relationship, ya know? :/
