The Man I Used To Be

(альбом: Matt Kennon - 2010)

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
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

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...
