The Man I Used to Be

歌詞

I carry some scars From lessons I've learned Dreams I've chased That crashed and burned Like a faded tattoo It's part of who I am I've been somebody My mama didn't raise Running through the nights In my wasted days But I guess salvation Waits for every man I've been right to the edge Of the great unknown And I've walked the high tight wire No net below Done things I shouldn't But I couldn't be the man you see If I hadn't been the man I used to be I've given my heart halfheartedly Never let no one get close to me I could stand in a crowd And still be all alone I've been my own worst enemy And somebody else's when I had to be Yeah, the road I've traveled It's been hard and long I've been right to the edge Of the great unknown I've walked the high tight wire No net below Done things I shouldn't But I couldn't be the man you see If I hadn't been the man I used to be Done things I shouldn't But I couldn't be the man you see If I hadn't been No, if I hadn't been the man I used to be The man I used to be The man I used to be
