The Man That Never Was Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wanna scream at the top of my lungs,
Pissed off at myself for what Iâve done.
Iâve been down this path,
Iâve felt the wrath of the sins from my past.
It burns so deep, what Iâve done to you Iâll never escape.
It burns so deep, youâre everything Iâll never be.[Chorus]
I need to open my eyes
To see again, to see the way I was back then,
Gotta find my way, gotta find a way back again!
Tear open my chest
To dig around and tell me why Iâm such a mess,
I got a fear that my heart got up and left.[Verse 2]
Oh, Iâm somewhere drifting hanging out with regret,
We're laughing, making jokes of past things I did.
I call apathy my one and only friend,
Keep a distance I could be contagious.
Iâm a little twisted and in dire need of assistance,
I wonât quit these habits if I know I can't have it,
Because, because Iâm sick, Iâm a dick!
Iâm quick with my words, draw on me you'll get hurt.
Iâm scum, Iâm numb, there's nothing you can do to me that I haven't done.[Chorus]
I need to open my eyes
To see again, to see the way I was back then,
Gotta find my way, gotta find a way back again!
Tear open my chest
To dig around and tell me why Iâm such a mess,
I got a fear that my heart got up and left.[Hook]
I am a shadow, the hollowed out shell
Of a man that was, a man that was...
I am a shadow, the hollowed out shell
Of a man that was, a man that was...
You're my mistake!You're my mistake!
Iâm the villain of this metropolis,
Iâll sink this ship, Iâll burn this bridge,
Iâll end what little life we're in![Chorus]
I need to open my eyes
To see again, to see the way I was back then,
Gotta find my way, gotta find a way back again!
Tear open my chest
To dig around and tell me why Iâm such a mess,
I got a fear that my heart got up and left.[Bridge]
Does it make sense to feel so spent?
Get this off my chest, has the best of me came and went?
Does it make sense to feel so spent?
Get this off my chest, has the best of me came and went?
Does it make sense to feel so spent?
Get this off my chest, has the best of me came and went?
Does it make sense to feel so spent?
Get this off my chest, has the best of me came and went?Is this feeling passing? I keep asking
Is this temporary? Please be temporary[Outro]
They say it gets better with time,
Well, it's been time enough and I want to live my life.
I let you down now you've got me on hold,
I just want to go home.
