Who I Used To Be

Who i used to be, no one knows.
Weeping and crying never showed
I thought I was cool with that stick in my hand 
But it all revolved around a man
A man who would lead me to do bad things 
I was like a puppet on a string
Blinded by the love that was so naive 
He was one thing I thought I might need
Who I used to be is different than who i am now
I am stronger than i was yesterday 
Kinder if you will 
Who i used to be, no one knows.
