I’d like to think I’ve got a knack for finding gems, but happily hanging onto them is another thing… What, other than hard drive failure, could I be talking about?! Enjoy the acoustic Relient K. Read more for the lyrics.

I watched the proverbial sunrise
Coming up over the Pacific end.
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 in and…
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 be sure I’ll 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 in and…
This is no place to try and live my life.
- Relient K, Who I Am Hates Who I’ve Been
