Lyrics
I set ablaze to a hundred bridges..
Been face down, in a dozen ditches..
Been a lost soul cause i didnt know where to fit in
I was living an looking out for my own
kickin the dust up off that lonesome road
Chasin highs to avoid the lows
Avoided love Cause my heart was always on the run
running, running, running from God knows what
God forbid being vulnerable
I aint bulletproof so
anyone got close they got used
Can't get me if I got you
Sorry
Its true, I did what I thought I had to do
I broke rules, bent truths, put up walls so no one could get through
But thats old news, im trying to be renewed
Lord i trust in you can you show me what to do
I wanna give up my selfish ways..
stop causing the ones i love so much pain
I know its gonna take all my energy
Im willing to change anything an everything whatever it takes...
Its gonna be tough,
Theres gonna be days I kick an fuss curse and cuss
But,
I wont give up
Ill do everything I can, to be a better version of who i am
Oh
its time to become a man
(its time to become a man)
If The man in the mirror cought on fire
Didn't care i let em burn
Burn
let em burn
its what i deserved
I didnt give a fuck who i hurt or what ive done
didnt put thought into who id become
Didnt think bout anyone
to tell the truth
i didnt even think about you
Keepin secrets will never set me free
Time to come clean
Every choice i made
Every high i chased
Every promise id break
Put more chains on me
Im to blame, im ashamed
it Was always all about me and my selfish gains
im so damn tired of everything leaving me feeling incomplete
Im tired of giving up on all my dreams
Im tired of everyone giving up on me
so tired of this long empty road
ill do anything at all to warm this sorry lonesome soul
I dont wanna be selfish,
I dont
I dont
I dont wanna be selfish any more
Oh lord
I dont wanna be selfish,
I dont
I dont
I dont wanna be selfish any more
I wanna give up my selfish ways..
stop causing the ones i love so much pain
I know its gonna take all my energy
Im willing to change anything an everything whatever it takes...
Its gonna be tough,
Theres gonna be days I kick an fuss curse and cuss
But,
I wont give up
Ill do everything I can, to be a better version of who i am
Oh
its time to become a man
(its time to become a man)
I dont wanna be selfish,
I dont
I dont
I dont wanna be selfish any more
Oh lord
I dont wanna be selfish,
I dont
I dont
I dont wanna be selfish any more
(I dont wanna be selfish any more)
