The Man I Was - Lucero

A cold and early dawn

For a man gone so wrong

Another lonely way of wasting time

So late into the night

It 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 anymore

I’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 then

I 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 man

I’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 then

A cold and early dawn

For a man gone so wrong

Another lonely way of wasting time

So late into the night

I’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

I paid for my sins

I will start again

I’m not going back my friend

I’m not the man I was back then
