The Boy I've Been

Looking in the mirror and I hate what I see The reflection's getting older I'm not the man I thought I'd be The years keep going by I'm not sure what I was waiting for But my heart began to shatter When you headed for that door So I'm grabbing the bottle And I'm pouring it heavy I swore this stuff off Now I'm breaking the levee I'm a human tornado Wrecking all that I touch You should probably leave But you love me too much The cycle continues I've failed you again You deserve a man Not the boy I've been You needed me but I left you alone I had love in my heart But it was never shone This wasn't what you pictured When we took the leap Just kids making promises That we could never keep So I'm grabbing the bottle And I'm pouring it heavy I swore this stuff off Now I'm breaking the levee I'm a human tornado Wrecking all that I touch You should probably leave But you love me too much The cycle continues I've failed you again You deserve a man Not the boy I've been The boy I've been And looking back at the little things That I didn't do Too focused on myself Not thinking about you But if you give me another day I know that you'll see I'm not the boy I've been I'll be the man you need The man you need
