Running uphill
swimming upstream
Choosing this life
I refused to concede
I never knew what
it meant to be free
I’m not the man
I wanted to be

Soul searching leaves
a murder scene
with evidence
of such catastrophe
Mirrors reflect what
the world doesn't see
I’m not the man
I wanted to be

We are so cruel when old gives way to new
...when old gives way to new
We are so cruel when old gives way to new
...when old gives way to new

I know this one hurts
I know this one hurts

We are so cruel when old gives way to new
...when old gives way to new
We are so cruel when old gives way to new
...when old gives way to new

I know this one hurts
I know this one hurts
I know this one hurts

I’m not the man
I wanted to be
