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
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
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
