I'M Just Not the Man I Thought I Was

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
