Everything That Isn't Me Lyrics - Lukas Graham

[Verse 1] 

I could have been a better brother 

I could have been a better son 

I'm sorry for the pain I caused you 

And all the worries that I gave you, mom 

Every time there was a riot 

I couldn't ever stay at home 

I had to go and join the fire 

You and dad said no, but I had to go 

You were still the best of mothers 

And now I know the fear you felt for me 

You told me to stay off the streets 'cause 

You didn't like me out there selling weed

[Chorus] 

I don't regret the things I've done 

They made me what I am, you see 

I can't apologize forever 

For everything that isn't me 

[Verse 2] 

I could have been a better brother 

I could have been a better friend 

I hope you know how much I love you 

And if you don't, I really understand 

I used to be so bloody selfish 

I tried to make it to the top, you see 

The only thing I didn't get is 

You've always given me the help I need 

I should have been a better brother 

It's easy now to see it clear 

I'm sorry that I hurt you all and 

I'm sorry that I caused you all so many tears 

[Chorus] 

I could apologize forever 

For everything I couldn't be 

I can't apologize forever 

For everything that isn't me 

[Verse 3] 

I could have been a better lover 

I could have been a better man 

I'm sorry that I work so much and 

The fact that I never really have a plan 

I'm sorry, oh, I'm so sorry 

That it's so hard to say this word 

And even with all the things we've been through 

Sometimes I think that I will never learn 

I could have been a better lover 

I could have been a better man 

I'm gonna be a better father 

Hell, I'm doing everything I can 

[Chorus] 

And I will live with this forever 

With everything I couldn't be 

I can't apologize forever 

For everything that isn't me 

[Outro] 

I could have been a better brother 

I could have been a better son 

I could have been a better lover 

But in the end, I'm your only one
