Who I Am Hates Who I've Been Lyrics

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.

[Pre-Chorus]

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.

[Chorus]

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.

[Pre-Chorus x2]
[Chorus]


Who I am hates who I've been

and who I am won’t 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.
