Matt Kennon - The Man I Used To Be lyrics

rate me

I carry some scars

from lessons I've learned

dreams I've chased

that crashed and burned

like a faded tattoo

it's part of who I am

I've been somebody

my mama didn't raise

running through the nights

in my wasted days

but I guess salvation

waits for every man

I've been right to the edge

of the great unknown

and I've walked the high tight wire

no net below

done things I shouldn't

but I couldn't be the man you see

if I hadn't been the man I used to be

I've given my heart halfheartedly

never let no one get close to me

I could stand in a crowd

and still be all alone

I've been my own worst enemy

and somebody else's when I had to be

yeah, the road I've traveled

it's been hard and long

I've been right to the edge

of the great unknown

and I've walked the high tight wire

no net below

done things I shouldn't

but I couldn't be the man you see

if I hadn't been the man I used to be

Done things I shouldn't

but I couldn't be the man you see

if I hadn't been

no, if I hadn't been the man I used to be

The man I used to be...
