Intro (spoken, raw) Man, I needa drink, pass me a drink, will ya? That was the old me, the young and broke me Thinking I can get happy with a few drinks Just a few drinks? Nah, that don’t amuse me (beat drops in, mellow but heavy) Hook That was the old me, I don’t live there Chasing highs in a glass, going nowhere I been running from myself, yeah I been scared Now I’m sober in my thoughts, yeah I’m clear That was the old me, let it die there All the pain in the cup, I don’t fight fair I don’t numb it no more, I’m aware That was the old me, I’m not there Verse 1 I was pouring up dreams just to watch ‘em fade Every smile I wore was a masquerade I thought peace came cheap at the end of a glass But the morning came fast and the feeling passed I was broke in my head, not just my bank Tryna drown out thoughts that I couldn’t thank Funny how quiet the truth can be When you finally sit with your misery Pre-Hook I don’t need another night to forget I don’t need another friend I regret If I’m hurting, I feel it instead Yeah, I feel it instead Hook (repeat) Verse 2 Now I wake up heavy but my mind light Same demons, just don’t let ‘em drive nights I don’t chase what numb used to bring I chase sleep, I chase better things I lost time, lost trust, lost me But I found truth in the in-between Still learning how to breathe again Still breaking habits that pretend Outro That was the old me I don’t hate him He got me here But I don’t need him anymore
