I Don't Like Who I Was Then Lyrics

Tossed around like sea glass
And you rounded out my edges
I'll feel better when the headaches go away
I've got a scar across my forehead
Turning purple in the cold
From a night at Shore Memorial
I was sixteen and afraid, turned away
I'm working babyface
Out of Mid-South in the eighties
I kept a blade hidden in my wrist tape

I think I'm growing into someone you could trust
I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks
I want to run until my lungs give up
If I could manage not to f*** this up
If I could manage not to f*** this up
I think enough is enough

Hidden in the tall grass
In the naked light of day
Put my past self in the ground
I've been dancing on the grave
I'm not the person that I was then
You're standing in the way
I was bitter, I was careless
I was nineteen and afraid
But you deserve more than me
Don't know why I'd say those things
But you deserve more than me
And I'm trying every day

I think I'm growing into someone you could trust
I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks
I want to run until my lungs give up
If I could manage not to f*** this up
If I could manage not to f*** this up
I think enough is enough

Let me walk into circles
You were a shot in the dark
You were the baby teeth I buried
You were the sound of distant cars
Let me walk into circles
You were a shot in the dark
You were the [?] for no one
That I tattooed across my heart

Let me walk into circles
You were a shot in the dark
You scattered like ashes across every song that I write
You are the light pollution stars

I think I'm growing into someone you could trust
I want to shoulder the weight until my back breaks
I want to run until my lungs give up
If I could manage not to f*** this up
If I could manage not to f*** this up
Enough is enough
