Been a broken down car on the side street Damn near lost it all on a bad week, hm I was praying for change How could only twelve steps feel so far away? So many lies, I stopped counting Tryin' to walk a straight line felt like tryin' to move a mountain And I was prayin' for change, would've died if I'd've stayed the same, hm I hate the man I used to be But he'll always be a part of me Right now, lookin' at my past I know it's unpretty Can't hide the pain that I've been through I wear my scars like my tattoos The man who I was was wrong But he's the one who built me Say I am nothin' without my sins I can't pretend I'm not all pretty Been the whiskey glass left half empty Seen the bright lights a few times and that's what saved me Ain't no stranger to pain, the ones who love me all feel the same (oh) When every one step forward felt ten steps back Lot of years in the dark felt just like that, oh I never thought I'd see the day when I forgive myself and say I hate the man I used to be But he'll always be a part of me Right now, lookin' at my past I know it's unpretty Can't hide the pain that I've been through I wear my scars like my tattoos The man who I was was wrong But he's the one who built me Say I am nothin' without my sins I can't pretend I'm not all pretty Say I am (I am) nothin' (nothin') without (without) my sins (my sins) I can't pretend I'm not all pretty I hate the man I used to be But he'll always be a part of me Right now, lookin' at my past I know it's unpretty
