Relient K - Who I Am Hates Who I've Been (Acoustic) Lyrics

I watched the proverbial sunrise
Coming up over the Pacific and
You might think I'm losing my mind
But I will shy away from the specifics
'Cause I don't want you to know, where I am
'Cause then you'll see my heart
In the saddest state it's ever been
This is no place to try and live my life
Stop right there, that's exactly where I lost it
See that line, well I never should have crossed it
Stop right there, well I never should have said
That it's the very moment that I wish that I could take back
I'm sorry for the person I became
I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change
I'm ready to try and never become that way again
'Cause who I am hates who I've been
Who I am hates who I've been
I talk to absolutely no one
Couldn't keep to myself enough
And the things bottled inside have finally begun
To create so much pressure that I'll soon blow up and
I heard the reverberating footsteps
Sinking up to the beating of my heart
And I was positive that unless I got myself together
I would watch me fall apart
And I can't let that happen again
'Cause then you'll see my heart
In the saddest state it's ever been
This is no place to try and live my life
Stop right there, that's exactly where I lost it
See that line, well I never should have crossed it
Stop right there, well I never should have said
That it's the very moment that I wish that I could take back
I'm sorry for the person I became
I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change
I'm ready to try and never become that way again
'Cause who I am hates who I've been
Who I am hates who I've been
Who I am hates who I've been
And who I am will take the second chance you gave me
Who I am hates who I've been
'Cause who I've been only ever made me
So sorry for the person I became
So sorry that it took so long for me to change
I'm ready to be sure to become that way again
'Cause who I am hates who I've been
Who I am hates who I've been

It’s 2019 and I’ve rediscovered my love for this version as well as for RelientK ♥️

I still get chills

2019 anyone?

Hell yeah 2019 😱

some songs are still part of you no matter how many has passed and it is not because the song but the memory... 2019?

2019 ✌😊🖤

2019! Who's here?

wow never thought i'll be listening to this kind of music

This song has helped me threw my addiction to heroin and continue to fight my sobriety one day at a time!

this song describes the convert's heart. i like the idea that atheist's are listening to this song unknowing of the whole meaning. I like the idea that in their head they sing... "'cause i dont want YOU to know where i am."... with them unknowingly know the meaning of YOU.

Loved the song.....

First heard this song in middle school and now listening in 2018... I just turned 22 and I can now relate to this song in a way that middle school me couldn't ... 💔

Not a christian anymore but i still love this song. Still I think, who I am hates who I was. ;)

Low key sounds like chester bennington in some parts

This came out sooo long ago

Where’s all my Emo Christians 🙌🙌🎸

Best song ever

Marijuanasock ... On a christian song. LOL

2018! Who's there?

Almost 2019 and here i am
singing all lyrics.

@zleee Rexx same

2019 ;)

I watched the proverbial sunrise
Coming up over the Pacific and
You might think I'm losing my mind,
But I will shy away from the specifics

'Cause I don't want you to know, where I am
'Cause then you'll see my heart
In the saddest state it's ever been.

This is no place to try and live my life.

Stop right there, that's exactly where I lost it.
See that line, well I never should have crossed it.
Stop right there, well I never should have said
That it's the very moment that I wish that I could take back.

I'm sorry for the person I became.
I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change.
I'm ready to try and never become that way again
'Cause who I am hates who I've been.
Who I am hates who I've been.

I talk to absolutely no one.
Couldn't keep to myself enough.
And the things bottled inside have finally begun
To create so much pressure that I'll soon blow up.

I heard the reverberating footsteps
Sinking up to the beating of my heart,
And I was positive that unless I got myself together,
I would watch me fall apart.

And I can't let that happen again
'Cause then you'll see my heart
In the saddest state it's ever been.

This is no place to try and live my life.

Stop right there, that's exactly where I lost it.
See that line, well I never should have crossed it.
Stop right there, well I never should have said
That it's the very moment that I wish that I could take back.

Stop right there, that's exactly where I lost it.
See that line, well I never should have crossed it.
Stop right there, well I never should have said
That it's the very moment that I wish that I could take back.

I'm sorry for the person I became.
I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change.
I'm ready to try and never become that way again
'Cause who I am hates who I've been.
Who I am hates who I've been.

Who I am hates who I've been
And who I am won't take the second chance you gave me.
Who I am hates who I've been
'Cause who I've been only ever made me

So sorry for the person I became.
So sorry that it took so long for me to change.
I'm ready to try and never become that way again
'Cause who I am hates who I've been.
Who I am hates who I've been.

This song is me when I was in active addiction

I wish it was better quality

That intro will get you feeling some way

This helped me get clean.

This song has always been very important to me. I just listened to it again for the first time in years and I can't close the valve for my tear ducts.

in my humble opinion, I think I'll stick to the original.

most under rated. listening in 2017.

this is on the first CD not the 2nd

still jamming this!!!

its a sence of being unbalanced lifestyle, when your unbalanced you start to see things differently, and get into a cycle of doing the same old habits witch can give you dejavu. your sick of it but you want to a change but you don't think you can cuz no-one understands it so you feel realy bad .

this song describes many others but the thing is we r all different and if there was a god he wouldn't let us suffer if he loved us and why is it a he and what made this top authority to command us all this Is my opinion I believe in him but then I don't basicly God has nothing to do with how we feel and how we act it's our own problem we just have to gather the strength to change we have to pound or skull with words saying change I need to change I want to help I don't want to be a nothing I don't want to be the problem of someone's pain u know? anyways that's my thoughts and if u disagree with any of it idc cause I feel it's right in my eyes and nobody can change that

God doesn't let us suffer, we make ourselves suffer. People are evil, it ain't his fault that no one loves each other like he asked us to do, and besides didn't god get crucified? And all of his disciples as well? Even people that believe in god, including god himself, suffer on earth. This place is evil man, it's of the devil, blame him.

Describes how i feel right now

This made me cry

finally i love guitar again after giving my electric guitar to a buddy and jam out!

Sorry for the person I began 😔

I have never found a song that describes how I've been most of my life. I really I'm sorry for the person I am and who I've become. For so long I've desperately wanted to change.

Its never too late, to change <3 I hope your life has gotten better since you posted this comment?

@Space Fan Alien Robot you ever want to talk my name is my YouTube name look me up on FB and message me. I'm ready to listen and swap stories.

Your not the only one I'm a month clean off opiates and this song hits home!!!

Hooe youre better 🖤

I love this song, but the sound quality of this upload hurts my ears.

I watched the proverbial sunrise
Coming up over the Pacific and
You might think I'm losing my mind,
But I will shy away from the specifics...

'cause I don't want you to know where I am
'cause then you'll see my heart
In the saddest state it's ever been.

This is no place to try and live my life.

[Pre-Chorus]
Stop right there. That's exactly where I lost it.
See that line. Well I never should have crossed it.
Stop right there. Well I never should have said
That it's the very moment that
I wish that I could take back.

[Chorus]
I'm sorry for the person I became.
I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change.
I'm ready to be sure I never become that way again
'cause who I am hates who I've been.
Who I am hates who I've been.

I talk to absolutely no one.
Couldn't keep to myself enough.
And the things bottled inside have finally begun
To create so much pressure that I'll soon blow up.

I heard the reverberating footsteps
Synching up to the beating of my heart,
And I was positive that unless I got myself together,
I would watch me fall apart.

And I can't let that happen again
'cause then you'll see my heart
In the saddest state it's ever been.

This is no place to try and live my life.

[Pre-Chorus x2]
[Chorus]

Who I am hates who I've been
And who I am will take the second chance you gave me.
Who I am hates who I've been
'cause who I've been only ever made me...

So sorry for the person I became.
So sorry that it took so long for me to change.
I'm ready to be sure I never become that way again
'cause who I am hates who I've been.
Who I am hates who I've been.

Thank you!

Long time i came here just to Watch This song when i m drunk

+Family baba that is very clear

got here from fiery joker

fave song :))))

sweet mother of quality

@calvin smith Lord of artifacts!

This fucking quality though.

This is really bad quality

it is lol

I dont really like this version. Idk

I haven't heard the original, and I like this one a lot.

Favorite Song. 
Still Amazing.

Where's the version where it doesn't slow down around the middle?

love it

My feelings exactly

This song explains my true feelings about my self.<3

this is no place to try and live my lifeeeeeeeeeee. O)O)O))OO)O)O)OOO))OOO)O)O{. This song is gay.

Coming from a nine year old with little to no experience of anything in life that's *definitely* a valid opinion. By the way, if you're calling things "gay" as an insult at your age your mum should be washing your face out with soap.
Have a nice day kiddo. Hope you don't have to understand this kind of music ever, it'd be better for you.

Good one

+garbara berwald that would be why I am listening to it.

This is my favourite song ever.

Is it me or is there a different version if their acoustic version of this song because it sounds different around the bridge like it's slower anyone else notice this or is it just me?

Hahaha traded it for a job of doing the rest lmao

As much as I love this song, I have to ask; is it just me that thinks the quality is like a Skype call?

this video is 7 years old, quality wasn't too high back then

I've noticed it too.

haha yes just thought that

Trying to make up again with my ex girlfriend, and when she's showing signs of acceptance, I am starting to feel like " Stop right there! that's exactly where I lost it
See that line? Well, I never should've crossed it, stop right there! Well, I never should've said that, it's the very moment that I wish that I could take back" Fuck my life.

i may have broke the replay button...

Never fails to make me cry man.

;-;;;;;;;;

really.... like the most amazing song

I watched the proverbial sunrise
Coming up over the Pacific
And you might think I'm losing my mind
But I will shy away from the specifics

Cause I don't want you to know where I am
Cause then you'll see my heart
In the saddest state it's ever been
This is no place to try and live my life

Stop right there!
That's exactly where I lost it
See that line?
Well, I never should've crossed it
Stop right there!
Well, I never should've said that
It's the very moment that I wish that I could take back

I'm sorry for the person I became
I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change
I'm ready to be sure I never become that way again
Cause who I am hates who I've been
Who I am hates who I've been

I talked to absolutely no one
Couldn't keep to myself enough
And the things bottled inside
Had finally begun to create so much pressure
That I'd soon blow up
And I heard the reverberating footsteps
Syncing up to the beating of my heart
And I was positive that unless
I got myself together
I would watch me fall apart
And I can't let that happen again
Cause then you'll see my heart
In the saddest state it's ever been
This is no place to try and live my life
Stop right there
That's exactly where I lost it
See that line?
I never should've crossed it
Stop right there
I never should've said that
It's the very moment that I wish that I could take back

Stop right there!
That's exactly where I lost it
See that line?
Well, I never should've crossed it
Stop right there!
Well, I never should've said that
It's the very moment that I wish that I could take back

I'm sorry for (Sorry for) the person I became
I'm sorry that (Sorry that) it took so long for me to change
I'm ready to (Ready to) be sure I never become that way again
Cause who I am hates who I've been
Who I am hates who I've been

Who I am hates who I've been
And who I am will take the second chance You gave me
Who I am hates who I've been
Cause who I've been only ever made me

So sorry for (Sorry for) the person I became
So sorry that (Sorry that) it took so long for me to change
I'm ready to (Ready to) be sure I never become that way again
Cause who I am hates who I've been
Who I am hates who I've been

I know depression doesn't come from a particular event but my twin brother passed away 2 Years ago after a 9 month coma from being hit by a jeep while he was longboarding to deliver a note. I still have never self harmed. I got into some hard drugs but I just think self harm would inflict more stress on the situation, as did hard drugs. Back to only smoking green and I still don't self harm. I wasn't trying to put anyone down im trying to encourage others that it gets easier and there's no reason to hurt yourself

Really sorry for your loss. If my brother died, it would be unbearable... I can't even imagine. Although this reply is 8 months late and probably pretty stupid - but you can message me if you needed a chat about anything. 

What drugs?

@TheFreezingGamer21 my exact thought

Adam Lindley love you man keep smoking herb

hard drugs are a form of self-harm, i should know

This is such a nice way of playing "acoustic". Gotta love this song!! <3

dat 240p...

Who's chopping onions around here?

Never fails to make my eyes water... :')

Oh my God, seriously though. Such a great song. ;-;

Whoever it is has infinite onions apparently

I'm just confused as to why Relient K is being called "punk" here...

early on rk was a punk rock and around 2007 they became more of an alternative rock band

Over 7 years this song is still amazing

The comments are like a history book but kinda interesting and with no explanations

These comments..

Ho man so many disturbing histories on this song coments. i dont even know what to say ... i think im gonna comment else where ...

I know right, I don't understand why people leave their life story's here 

Stay strong I hope you haven't cut since the time you post that... Many people have been through this (I haven't cut in 1 and a half month)

Okay, joking or not, I take the cutting part offensive.
Don't ever joke about that. I've dealt with self-harm and I'm pretty sure other who see it have too. It's triggering, it's not funny, it's NOT cute.
I'm sorry, but it's flat out bullshit.
No joking about self-harm.

pLEES STOP. My life is getting way 2 hard guise with ur mean comments to me I wil start cutting myself becuz I can n0t tayk it an e more. First I need to comment on every video about it to random strangers/tell all of my friends so that I can gain as much attention as I can because that makes my balls tingle.

-Sent from my iPad in the comfort of my home while living in a First World country

Fuck you

Yeahhhh the virtually unlimited amount of music at their disposal on their technological device, and their whiny piss poor comments they were able to virtually share throughout the world with a click of a button. GIVE ME A GOD DAMN BREAK AHAHAHAHAHAHHA ohh BoOOOHOooO ur lyfe is sooooooo hard guise lmao

Love this song

Good job, longer than I lasted, one and a half weeks. But I'm working on going two, maybe stopping all together...

You no what why don't you just go and FUCK yourself. Every body has there own problems and who in the hell are you to judge. If music is there way of escaping this HELL we call earth then so be it. Personally i think that Zo Kool and every body else who posted about there own struggles are very brave.

This song reminds me of my bad side. I have horrible anger issues, depression, and am antisocial. But due to one girl, I am past the antisocial, and working on depression. The anger issues still exist, and I've been teetering on the edge of self harm. But I heard this song and wanted to make her proud. Today I stop this mental and physical hell. Wish me luck in this world, where change is so difficult to make.

please tell me more about how these 12 year olds are "heartbroken" AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Whine some more plz.

You got low self esteem?

You aren't cute at all. Self harm is serious and nothing to make fun of.

It's very good that you're at least trying. Lots of people, young and little souls don't find their way out of darkness. I'm so sorry for them, but they even don't let you to carry them into the light. I realy hope you will find lots of trustfull people and real meaning of love in your life.

Used to self harm. On Monday it will be 3 years and 3 months since the last time I hurt myself intentionally

Lol I just noticed this. That's funny. Kinda ironic for a Christian rock band to be uploaded by them.

*Uploaded by Marijuana Sock*

this song is so heartfelt and all those out there doing self-harm, I feel so bad and I just listen to this song and just think about everything in life, the good and the bad things.

your a penguin

I use to self-harm.. One month clean.

your an ass

I'm trying to recover from depression but sometimes its so hard that I've lost friends due to it and my attitude I'm also recovering from being Insecure about how I look and thinking just negatively about how I am

If you want to be a bitter, cynical person, go ahead. Enjoy your poison. Youtube is not losing "his" sleep at night worrying about that, and neither are my lots of people and I. Goodbye.

No, I said exactly what I meant.

Good job.

Always remember that you're beautiful no matter what anyone says. ^w^

Frank. You're an idiot, And.. Frankly, to be talking to you makes me sad.
