I Don't Like Who I Was Then Lyrics - No Closer To Heaven - The Wonder Years

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 

And 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 till my lungs give up 

If I could manage not to fuck this up 

If I could manage not to fuck this up 

I think enough is enough

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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 from me 

I don't know why I would 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 till my lungs give up 

If I could manage not to fuck this up 

If I could manage not to fuck this up 

I think enough is enough 

Photos 

You left me walking in circles 

You were a shot in the dark 

You were the baby teeth I buried 

You were the sounds of distant cars 

You left me walking in circles 

You were a shot in the dark 

You were the banner that says "no one" 

That I tattooed across my heart 

You left me walking in 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 till my lungs give up 

If I could manage not to fuck this up 

If I could manage not to fuck this up 

Enough is enough
