lyrics

All of my life, I've felt hurt and pain.
With most of it self-inflicted, it all feels the same.
I know it's too late, to call you up babe.
But all I have are memories, and the smell of you
lingering on my sheets.
I know it's too late, I'll own my mistakes.
It won't be easy, but I believe in me, I'll do whatever it takes.

Don't be afraid of me I'm not the man I used to be.
I promise I've changed, I'm sober babe, I'm ready for you to see.
Your love was a lesson both in hell and heaven.
The scars are now mended.
And what this recovery has taught me, has taught me to take the best of you with me.

Our love was like magic. It didn't just happen, but that spell could never have lasted.
Cause with you it was madness. I wasn't myself, oh no, I wasn't myself.
I was honest too late,
Couldn't communicate.
Could have gone forth in sin, but I escaped.
All is well now but I'd do it again.
It took losing my mind for me to find the me you wouldn't let me be.

Don't be afraid of me I'm not the man I used to be.
I promise I've changed, I'm sober babe, I'm ready for you to see.
Your love was a lesson both in hell and heaven.
The scars are now mended.
And what this recovery has taught me, has taught me to take the best of you with me.

If I'm falling don't catch me, I've hit bottom before.
Got my shoes and my coat on I'll run out the door.
Feel that cool breeze, be the new me, I should have been before.

Don't be afraid of me.
I'm not the man I used to be.
I promise I've changed, I'm sober babe. I'm ready for you to see.
Your love was a lesson both in hell and heaven and now this recovery, has taught me, has taught me to take the best of you with me.
