I heard a song on the radio today while driving home that has sorta stuck with me. It's one of those that when you've just realized that you don't really have any friends nearby...at least no one that really lives up to the great friends you had back home (kitty210 & nympho, sarcastro, kermit210, Jess, etc.)...that the only people who talk with are because they are in a class study group or TA the same lab or work on the same research project...you wish you'd realized how socially isolated you've become sooner. Yeah, the song hit a chord. It's sorta ironic...one of the main reasons I've been having a hard time fitting in & finding new friends (like anyone will EVER be able to measure up to kitty210 & sarcastro!) is because this place is so damn Christian fanactically that I can't breath. And, this song is by a Christian band. Go figure. Well, the song still is cool, so here's the lyrics:
Artist: Relient K
Album: MmHmm
Title: Who I Am Hates Who I've Been
"I watched the proverbial sunrise
coming up over the Pacific and
you might think I'm losing my mind,
but I will shy away from the specifics...
'cause I don't want you to know where I am
'cause then you'll see my heart
in the saddest state it's ever been.
This is no place to try and live my life.
[Pre-Chorus]
Stop right there. That's exactly where I lost it.
See that line. Well I never should have crossed it.
Stop right there. Well I never should have said
that it's the very moment that
I wish that I could take back.
[Chorus]
I'm sorry for the person I became.
I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change.
I'm ready to try and never become that way again
'cause who I am hates who I've been.
Who I am hates who I've been.
I talk to absolutely no one.
Couldn't keep to myself enough.
And the things bottled inside have finally begun
to create so much pressure that I’ll soon blow up.
I heard the reverberating footsteps
sinking up to the beating of my heart,
and I was positive that unless I got myself together,
I would watch me fall apart.
And I can’t let that happen again
‘cause then you’ll see my heart
in the saddest state it’s ever been.
This is no place to try and live my life.
[Pre-Chorus x2]
[Chorus]
Who I am hates who I've been
and who I am won’t take the second chance you gave me.
Who I am hates who I’ve been
‘cause who I’ve been only ever made me...
So sorry for the person I became.
So sorry that it took so long for me to change.
I’m ready to try and never become that way again
‘cause who I am hates who I’ve been.
Who I am hates who I’ve been."
