Who I used to be

Lyrics

I've always lived a better life
Through the stories that i tell 
But here in the real world 
Man I've been through hell
I'm not pointing fingers
You see the blame falls on me
When the way things are
Don't compare
To the way things used to be.

(Chorus)
I used to be an honest man
I used to be a friend 
The kind you could rely on 
Right by you til the end
I used to be a lover
Then my love walked out on me
And who I am just can't compare
To who I used to be.


Maybe in another time
I wouldn't be this way
If things went a little different 
Would the outcome be the same
But i only have the present
And the futures up to me
And right now the way things are
Just dont compare
To the way things used to be

(Chorus)
I want to be an honest man
I want to be a friend
Better then I used to be 
The best I've ever been
I want to be a lover 
Who lets someone love me
When the way things are
Are better then 
They ever used to be 

Oh the man I used to be
This empty vessel isn’t me
Time to build a better me
