Everything I Never Wanted To Be

(Verse 1)
I used to swear I’d never be that guy
Who let his temper do the talkin’ late into the night
Never be the one who breaks a heart
With words that can cut two worlds even further apart
I had a picture of a better man, 
the side I wish you would remember and still hopefully see
But now I am staring into the mirror 
and Angel, I don’t even recognize me

(Chorus)
I’ve become everything 
I never wanted to be
A little too proud
A little too weak
A man who loves so hard 
But don’t always love right
A man who still lets the bottle 
Blur through all of these lines
I’m just standing in the mess that I made
Yeah I am everything I never wanted to be…
But It don’t have to stay this way

(Verse 2)
I heard her silence come through 
Louder than a scream
Felt my forever 
Fall apart right in front of me
And I keep on  wishing 
I could take it all back now
Every sharp word 
In those moments but there’s no way how
My regrets can’t ever rewind
It’s a tale as old as time
It just reminds
That change is the only mercy you’ll find

Because….

(Chorus)
I’ve become everything 
I never wanted to be
A little too proud
A little too weak
A man who loves so hard 
But don’t always love right
A man who still lets the bottle 
Blur through all of these lines
I’m just standing in the mess that I made
Yeah I am everything I never wanted to be…
But It don’t have to stay this way

(Chorus)
I’ve become everything 
I never wanted to be
A little too proud
A little too weak
A man who loves so hard 
But don’t always love right
A man who still lets the bottle 
Blur through all of these lines
I’m just standing in the mess that I made
Yeah I am everything I never wanted to be…
But It don’t have to stay this way
