NOT WHO I WAS BEFORE
WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON
JUNE 2016




GOT DOWN OFF MY HIGH HORSE
THOUGHT I'D TRY A DIFFERENT APPROACH
A DIFFERENT COURSE
COULDN'T BE ANY MORE DOWN TO EARTH
IT QUITE SUITS ME FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH
I KNOW I'M A LITTLE DIFFERENT
BUT NOT SO DIFFERENT AT ALL
I'M AN ARTIST AND A WRITER IF I'M ANYTHING AT ALL

CHORUS

I'M NOT WHO I WAS BEFORE
I THINK I'VE GROWN I'M MUCH MORE
EVERYTHING CHANGES NEVER STOPS
THINGS YOU LIKE GO RIGHT ON BY
YOU REACH OUT YOU'VE GOT TO TRY
ROLL IN, ROLL OUT WITH THE TIDE
IT'S ALL THAT YOU CAN DO
JUST HOLD ON BEST YOU CAN

AS I MAKE MY MERRY WAY
LIVING HAND TO MOUTH LIVING DAY TO DAY
DON'T YOU SEE THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG 
THOUGHT I'D CATCH A BREAK BUT IT'S TAKING SO LONG
WALKING IN THE RAIN
LOOKING IN VAIN
FOR A LITTLE SANITY
I'M NOT WHO I WAS BEFORE
AND WHO I AM NOW, SOMETIMES I'M NOT SURE
BUT EACH DAY I ENDURE
BRINGS ME CLOSER TO THE THINGS I DREAM
BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN

THE RISE AND FALL OF THE WAY THINGS SHOULD GO AT ALL
REMINDS ME OF THE WAVES OF THE SEA
PUSHING AND PULLING ME
HOLDING ME BACK THEN SETTING ME FREE
CASTING ME ADRIFT, THAT'S WHERE I'LL BE
UNDERNEATH A BILLION STARS
WAITING ON A NEW DAY
IN WHICH TO IMMERSE MYSELF
I'M NOT WHO I WAS
