down car on a sad street,
damn near lost it all on a bad week
I was praying for change,
how could only 12 steps feel so far away?
So many lies I stopped countin'
Tryin' to walk a straight line
felt like try in' to move a mountain
And I was prayin' for change,
woulda died if I'da stayed the same, hmm
I hate the man I used to be,
but he'll always be a part of me
Right now lookin' at my past,
Can't hide the pain that I've been through
I wear my scars like my tattoos
The man who I was was wrong
But he's the one who built me
Say I am nothing without my sins
Been a whiskey glass left half empty
Seen the bright lights a few times
Ain't no stranger to pain
With every one step forward,
there are tears that's back
A lot of years in the dark
I never thought I'd see the day
When I forgive myself and say
I hate the man I used to be
But he'll always be a part of me
Right now, looking at my past
Can't hide the pain that I've been through
I wear my scars like my tattoos
The man who I was was wrong
But he's the one who built me, say
Higher, nothing, without my sins
I am nothing without my sin
I can't pretend I'm not unpretty
I hate the man I used to be
But he'll always be a part of me
Right now looking at my past
