Poem
As a young man I always had the mentality of a child In my mind there was nothing I could do wrong And as I lived this life where I could create no harm Living for myself, I just got more and more wild Fixing any problems with a little charm It wasn’t to long that it worked with fewer and fewer That was okay though because anybody could be replaced with somebody newer I even thought this about my true love who had stood with me through it all Looking back, I’m not the man I thought I was Back in the day, I had no one to beat So I never worried about defeat But as time rolled on plenty of competition moved in I just remained lost in my head thinking I could do no wrong I don’t know why, just pushing people out of my life I just thought I was the one living life the right way But no matter how much strife I created my love was still with me for so long Looking back, I’m just not the man I thought I was Looking back, I’m just not the man I thought I was After so long now you could say I was just a man with the mind of child Not so young anymore but still wanting to be wild and never be wrong In addition to always wanting to be right I decided I had been with one person for too long There was no reason for this other than just wanting to be free from anyone But at the same time the mind that I just wouldn’t let grow was leaving my true love. Looking back, I’m just not the man I thought I was Looking back, I’m just not the man I thought I was Looking back, I’m just not the man I thought I was Now I sit here all alone with no one because I’m not who I thought I was So I would rather be with no one
