Lucero - The Man I Was Lyrics






A cold and early dawn
For a man gone so wrong
Another lonely way of wasting time
So late into the night

It wasn't long ago I was counting my days
With anger and boredom and fear and pain
Back then I just wanted to even the score
The pain doesn't translate the same anymore

I'm not going back again
I'm not the man I was back then
I will start again
I will start again
I'm not going back my friend
I'm not the man I was back then

I couldn't slow it down I know I got mean
I couldn't feel a thing, they couldn't touch me
None of those young girls could understand
How slowly killing oneself takes
A toll on man

I'm not going back again
I'm not the man I was back then
I will start again
I will start again
I'm not going back my friend
I'm not the man I was back then

A cold and early dawn
For a man gone so wrong
Another lonely way of wasting time
So late into the night

I'm not going back again
I'm not the man I was back then
I'm not going back again
I'm not the man I was back then
I will start again
I will start again

    This song hits so hard. I'm not the man I once was and it feels so good. Lucero has been a very big part of the soundtrack to my life for a very long time and I can't even put into words how much this song means to me.

    For a man gone so wrong
    Another lonely way of wasting time
    So late into the night

    It wasn't long ago I was counting my days
    With anger and boredom and fear and pain
    Back then I just wanted to even the score
    The pain doesn't translate the same anymore

    I'm not going back again
    I'm not the man I was back then
    I will start again
    I will start again
    I'm not going back my friend
    I'm not the man I was back then

    I couldn't slow it down I know I got mean
    I couldn't feel a thing, they couldn't touch me
    None of those young girls could understand
    How slowly killing oneself takes
    A toll on man

    I'm not going back again
    I'm not the man I was back then
    I will start again
    I will start again
    I'm not going back my friend

    A cold and early dawn
    For a man gone so wrong
    Another lonely way of wasting time
    So late into the night

    I'm not going back again
    I'm not the man I was back then
    I'm not going back again
    I'm not the man I was back then
    I will start again
    I will start again
    I paid for my sins
    I will start again...

    Have fun listening-there's a lot to consume. I still stumble into little jewels every so often. So much works when Ben and Rick strip it down.

  18. 9.... C....

    Fuck ..this is good.can't explain how deep it hits

  19. J.... R....

    This band and Bill Mallonee from Vigilantes Of Love are the greatest bands expressing pain and heartache. In a strange way they inspire hope.
