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

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
This is no place to try and live my life

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 try and never become that way again
Cause who I am hates who I've been
Who I am hates who I've been

I talk to absolutely no one
Couldn't keep to myself enough
And the things bottled inside
Have 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

Stop right there
Thats 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

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 the person I became
So sorry that it took so long for me to change
I'm ready to try and never become that way again
Cause who I am hates who I've been
Who I am hates who I've been

  • In starting a new study on 1 Corinthians, I've been thinking a lot about my personal spiritual edification...

  • edification?? that's a good word. Not entirely sure what it means, but I get the just of what you're saying. I've heard 'of' this song before but haven't heard the song. It's definetly a really good one.. it's made me think about how I struggle to try and make changes in my life that I keep failing at. Thanks for sharing it :)
