I watched the preverbal 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 try to never become that way again,
'Cause who I am hates who I've been,
Who I am hates who I've been.

I talked to absolutely no one; couldn't keep to myself enough,
And the things bottled inside I finally begun to create so much pressure that I'd soon blow up,
And I heard the reverberating footsteps syncing 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.

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 try to 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 is all you've 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 try to never become that way again,
'Cause who I am hates who I've been,
Who I am hates who I've been.
