Artist:Relient K
Album:Mmhmm
Song:Who I Am Hates Who I've Been
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
And 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've crossed it
Stop right there 
Well I never should've 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 talked to absolutely no one
Couldn't keep to myself enough
And the things bottled inside had finally begun
To create so much pressure that I'd soon blow up

And I heard the reverberating footsteps
Syncing 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
And 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
