The Man I Was Lyrics

A cold and early dawn
For a man gone so wrong
Another lonely way of wasting time
So late into the nightIt wasn't long ago I was counting my days
With anger and boredom and fear and pain
Back then I just wanted to even the score
The pain doesn't translate the same anymoreI'm not going back again
I'm not the man I was back then
I will start again
I will start again
I'm not going back my friend
I'm not the man I was back thenI couldn't slow it down I know I got mean
I couldn't feel a thing, they couldn't touch me
None of those young girls could understand
How slowly killing oneself takes
A toll on manI'm not going back again
I'm not the man I was back then
I will start again

I will start again
I'm not going back my friend
I'm not the man I was back thenA cold and early dawn
For a man gone so wrong
Another lonely way of wasting time
So late into the nightI'm not going back again
I'm not the man I was back then
I'm not going back again
I'm not the man I was back then
I will start again
I will start again
