Who I Am Hates Who I've Been

Reliant K- Who I am Hates Who I've Been

I watched the proverbial sunrise

Coming up over the Pacific and

You might think I'm losing my mind,

But I will shy away from the specifics...

'Cause I don't want you to know where I am

'Cause then you'll see my heart

In the saddest state it's ever been.

This is no place to try and live my life.

Stop right there. That's exactly where I lost it.

See that line. Well I never should have crossed it.

Stop right there. Well I never should have said

That it's the very moment that

I wish that I could take back.

I'm sorry for the person I became.

I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change.

I'm ready to be sure I never become that way again

'cause who I am hates who I've been.

Who I am hates who I've been.

I talk to absolutely no one.

Couldn't keep to myself enough.

And the things bottled inside have finally begun

To create so much pressure that I'll soon blow up.

I heard the reverberating footsteps

Synching up to the beating of my heart,

And I was positive that unless I got myself together,

I would watch me fall apart.

And I can't let that happen again

'Cause then you'll see my heart

In the saddest state it's ever been.

This is no place to try and live my life.

Stop right there. That's exactly where I lost it.

See that line. Well I never should have crossed it.

Stop right there. Well I never should have said

That it's the very moment that

I wish that I could take back.

I'm sorry for the person I became.

I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change.

I'm ready to be sure I never become that way again

'cause who I am hates who I've been.

Who I am hates who I've been.

Who I am hates who I've been

And who I am will take the second chance you gave me.

Who I am hates who I've been

'Cause who I've been only ever made me...

So sorry for the person I became.

So sorry that it took so long for me to change.

I'm ready to be sure I never become that way again

'Cause who I am hates who I've been.

Who I am hates who I've been.

This song is a great example of Alternative. With a fast paced chorus and beat it really shows off the emotion of the piece. It tells of someone who hurt someone he loved, and now he is trying to pull himself together and be a better person. He had to lose it to realize what he was doing, and then work on becoming that better person. I've been in this position more than once. Where I just needed to get away, pull myself together and change. Who I am today hates who I was. I've become a better person because of the mistakes I've made, and I hope you have learned from your mistakes as I have.

Hope you enjoyed listening.
