The Boy I'Ve Been

Looking in the mirror and I hate what I see
The reflection's getting older
I'm not the man I thought I'd be
The years keep going by
I'm not sure what I was waiting for
But my heart began to shatter
When you headed for that door

So I'm grabbing the bottle
And I'm pouring it heavy
I swore this stuff off
Now I'm breaking the levee
I'm a human tornado
Wrecking all that I touch
You should probably leave
But you love me too much
The cycle continues
I've failed you again
You deserve a man
Not the boy I've been

You needed me but I left you alone
I had love in my heart
But it was never shone
This wasn't what you pictured
When we took the leap
Just kids making promises
That we could never keep

So I'm grabbing the bottle
And I'm pouring it heavy
I swore this stuff off
Now I'm breaking the levee
I'm a human tornado
Wrecking all that I touch
You should probably leave
But you love me too much
The cycle continues
I've failed you again
You deserve a man
Not the boy I've been

The boy I've been

And looking back at the little things
That I didn't do
Too focused on myself
Not thinking about you
But if you give me another day
I know that you'll see
I'm not the boy I've been
I'll be the man you need

The man you need
