The Man I Once Was

I don’t need no alibi
I don’t need to say goodbye
I don’t need this anymore
So baby there’s the fucking door

yeah-e yeah-yeah-yeah (x3)

You were there for me
When times were less than great
Your were my angel in disguise
Even when the abuse was on the rise

yeah-e yeah-yeah-yeah

All the world once began to shake
From our loves earthquake
But our world stood still
Because our cupid was killed

[CHORUS]

I don’t need this anymore
I deserve much more than less
I can see your hate for me in your eyes
And that is no lie
Now I need loves guiding light
On these loves darkest nights

yeah-e yeah-yeah-yeah

The days come and the days have gone
Without you here to show
How much that I have changed
From the man I once was
And to the man I now became

I have heard all you said
Even let it sink in my head
And darling I’m sorry to say
Your hate for me is not okay

From dusk until dawn
From this point and on
I have finally realized
I am better off alone and alive


[CHORUS]

I don’t need this anymore
I deserve much more than less
I can see your hate for me in your eyes
And that is no lie
Now I need loves guiding light
On these loves darkest nights

yeah-e yeah-yeah-yeah (til fade)
