Lyrics:

Mm
I ain't the man I used to be
Lost that boy somewhere between
Whiskey nights and broken dreams
Yeah, I came back changed, you see
I ain't the man I used to be
Maybe that's what saved me
I walked roads nobody sees
Paid my dues on bloodied knees
Burned my past in gasoline
Watched it fade like distant screams
If you knew the things I've done
You'd swear the old me's dead and gone
But the truth is I had to break
Just to rise from my own grave
Every sin I carry still
Taught me how to climb that hill
Every scar became a key
To unlock who I'm meant to be
I ain't the man I used to be
Lost that boy somewhere between
Whiskey nights and broken dreams
Yeah, I came back changed, you see
I ain't the man I used to be, oh, oh
And maybe that's what saved me, oh, yeah
People talk but they don't know
Where I ran when the storm got close
Heard a voice say, "Son, let go"
But the price was pain I couldn't show
I saw darkness face to face
Felt the fire that left no trace
Came back home with different eyes
Now I see truth inside the lies
Every night I fell apart
Built a stronger, colder heart
But somehow through that misery
I found a newer version of me
I ain't the man I used to be
Lost that boy somewhere between
Whiskey nights and broken dreams
Yeah, I came back changed, you see
I ain't the man I used to be, oh, oh
And maybe that's what saved me, oh, yeah
If redemption's on the line
I'll take every step this time
'Cause the man before was weak
And the new one finally speaks
I ain't the man I used to be
Lost that boy somewhere between
Whiskey nights and broken dreams
Yeah, I came back changed, you see
I ain't the man I used to be
But I'm who I'm meant to be
