I don t like who i was then lyrics

Tossed around like sea glass
And you rounded out my edges
I'll feel better when the headaches go away
I've got a scar across my forehead
Turning purple in the cold
From a night at Shore Memorial
I was sixteen and afraid
Turned away
And I'm working babyface
Out of Mid-South in the eighties
I kept a blade hidden in my wrist tape

I think I'm growing into someone you could trust
I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks
I want to run till my lungs give up
If I could manage not to fuck this up
If I could manage not to fuck this up
I think enough is enough

Hidden in the tall grass
In the naked light of day
Put my past self in the ground
I've been dancing on the grave
I'm not the person that I was then
You're standing in the way
I was bitter, I was careless
I was nineteen and afraid

But you deserve more from me
I don't know why I would say those things
But you deserve more than me
And I'm trying every day

I think I'm growing into someone you could trust
I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks
I want to run till my lungs give up
If I could manage not to fuck this up
If I could manage not to fuck this up
I think enough is enough

You left me walking in circles
You were a shot in the dark
You were the baby teeth I buried
You were the sounds of distant cars

You left me walking in circles
You were a shot in the dark
You were the banner that says "no one"
That I tattooed across my heart

You left me walking in circles
You were a shot in the dark
You scattered like ashes across every song that I write
You are the light pollution stars

I think I'm growing into someone you could trust
I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks
I want to run till my lungs give up
If I could manage not to fuck this up
If I could manage not to fuck this up
Enough is enough

Tossed around like sea glass and you rounded out my edges.
I'll feel better when the headaches go away.
I got a scar across my forehead, turning purple in the cold
From a night at Shore Memorial.
I was 16 and afraid.
Turned away, like I'm working baby face
Out of Mid-South in the 80's.
I kept a blade hidden in my wrist tape.

I think I'm growing into someone you could trust.
I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks,
I want to run until my lungs give up.
If I could manage not to fuck this up.

If I could manage not to fuck this up.
I think enough is enough.

Hidden in the tall grass in the naked light of day,
I put my past-self in the ground.
I've been dancing on the grave.
I'm not the person that I was then,
I'm tearing him away.
I was bitter. I was careless.
I was 19 and afraid

But you deserved more from me.
I don't know why I would say those things.
But you deserved more from me and I'm trying every day.

I think I'm growing into someone you could trust.
I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks,
I want to run until my lungs give up.
If I could manage not to fuck this up.
If I could manage not to fuck this up.
I think enough is enough.

You left me walking in circles.
You were a shot in the dark.
You were the baby teeth I buried.
You were the sounds of distant cars.

You left me walking in circles.
You were a shot in the dark.
You were the banner that says "No One"
That I tattooed across my heart.

You left me walking in circles.
You were a shot in the dark.
You're scattered like ashes across every song that I write.
You're where the light pollution starts.

I think I'm growing into someone you could trust.
I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks,
I want to run until my lungs give up.
If I could manage not to fuck this up.
If I could manage not to fuck this up.
Enough is enough.

This song is from the album "No Closer To Heaven".

I Don't Like Who I Was Then

✕

Tossed around like sea glass

And you rounded out my edges

I'll feel better when the headaches go away

I've got a scar across my forehead

Turning purple in the cold

From a night at Shore Memorial

I was sixteen and afraid

Turned away

Like I'm working babyface

Out of Mid-South in the eighties

I kept a blade hidden in my wrist tape

I think I'm growing into someone you could trust

I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks

I want to run till my lungs give up

If I could manage not to fuck this up

If I could manage not to fuck this up

I think enough is enough

Hidden in the tall grass

In the naked light of day

Put my past self in the ground

I've been dancing on the grave

I'm not the person that I was then

I'm tearing him away

I was bitter, I was careless

I was nineteen and afraid

But you deserve more from me

I don't know why I would say those things

But you deserve more than me

And I'm trying every day

I think I'm growing into someone you could trust

I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks

I want to run till my lungs give up

If I could manage not to fuck this up

If I could manage not to fuck this up

I think enough is enough

You left me walking in circles

You were a shot in the dark

You were the baby teeth I buried

You were the sounds of distant cars

You left me walking in circles

You were a shot in the dark

You were the banner that says "no one"

That I tattooed across my heart

You left me walking in circles

You were a shot in the dark

You scattered like ashes across every song that I write

You’re where the light pollution starts

I think I'm growing into someone you could trust

I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks

I want to run till my lungs give up

If I could manage not to fuck this up

If I could manage not to fuck this up

Enough is enough
