Lyrics of Man I Used To Be – Dax
I’m half the man I used to be
It’s gon’ take some getting used to me
I used to think I had it all
But when you’re up all you do is fall
And that’s why I’m
Half the man I used to be
Trials and tribulations
All my past trauma
Generational curses from daddy and mama
Heartbreak and lies
Dirty soul ties
Mixed with addictions that clouded my eyes
I’ve been mistaken and taken for granted
and locked in the prison that I call my mind
And now that I’ve lived and I’ve learned
And I’ve built and I’ve burned all these bridges I’ll leave it behind
And that’s why
I’m half the man I used to be
It’s gon’ take some getting used to me
I used to think I had it all
But when you’re up all you do is fall
And that’s why I’m
Half the man I used to be
Don’t ask the reason I changed
Ask yourself why you stayed the same
I couldn’t sleep in that bed I made
I needed more in life
I tried every remedy prescribed
Getting drunk every night
Letting women waste my time
Now I’m in a phase I can sleep alone
I don’t ever chase, I got God
Letting go of pain that was never mine
Trying to bear the weights
not my job
Cause that’s the man i used to be
And he ain’t no use to me
I’m half the man I used to be
It’s gon’ take some getting used to me
I used to think I had it all
But when you’re up all you do is fall
And that’s why I’m
Half the man I used to be
I’m half the man I used to be
It’s gon’ take some getting used to me
I used to think I had it all
But when you’re up all you do is fall
And that’s why I’m
Half the man I used to be
