Who I Am Hates Who I've Been - Relient K

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
This is no place to try and live my life

[Chorus]
Stop right there
That's exactly where I lost it
See that line?
I never should've crossed it
Stop right there
I never should've said that
It's the very moment that I wish that I could take back

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 (sorry for) the person I became
I'm sorry that (sorry that) it took so long for me to change
I'm ready to (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

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

I'm sorry for (sorry for) the person I became
I'm sorry that (sorry that) it took so long for me to change
I'm ready to (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
