Old Me

I'm a mess it's plain to see
Got a hundred thousand problems that I have to fix
Had a couple hundred friends turn their back on this
Guess that they lost faith in me
Here's your own medicine now have a sip
One day I hope that I'll look back and laugh at shit

Such a shame, such a same
Is it me, am I to blame?
Maybe this is why I'm up at night
Seeming like I never do nothing right
Ain't the same, ain't the same
Am I the one, the one who'll change?
Maybe this is why I'm up at night
Didn't know that trouble lived in paradise

I wish, I wish, I wish
It wasn't like this, like this, like this
I'm feeling like
Wish somebody would've told me
Just so I could run and tell the old me
I wish, I wish, I wish
It wasn't like this, like this, like this
I'm feeling like
Wish somebody would've told me
Just so I could run and tell the old me

Was it always make believe?
Yeah I used to play with action figures after school
But I didn't know that people could be plastic too
Wore my heart out on my sleeve
Gotta keep on smiling even when it's hard to do
Gotta cover that shit up like it's a bad tattoo

Such a shame, such a same
Is it me, am I to blame?
Maybe this is why I'm up at night
Seeming like I never do nothing right
Ain't the same, ain't the same
Am I the one, the one who'll change?
Maybe this is why I'm up at night
Didn't know that trouble lived in paradise

I wish, I wish, I wish
It wasn't like this, like this, like this
I'm feeling like
Wish somebody would've told me
Just so I could run and tell the old me
I wish, I wish, I wish
It wasn't like this, like this, like this
I'm feeling like
Wish somebody would've told me
Just so I could run and tell the old me

Feel like a
empty nester, people jumping, hope they learn to fly
I'm still on the boat creating waves they used to surf behind
Relationships at jeopardy, but I don't have the answers
Put on the fakest smile when they flash the cameras
My plan of action was to blow up, bring the guys with me
My brothers scared of me to grow up, sibling rivalry
And it coulda been you, back of the venue
Drinking to celebrate all the success
You'll prolly call me saying sorry, guess in time we'll see

I wish, I wish, I wish
It wasn't like this, like this, like this
I'm feeling like
Wish somebody would've told me
Just so I could run and tell the old me
I wish, I wish, I wish
It wasn't like this, like this, like this
I'm feeling like
Wish somebody would've told me
Just so I could run and tell the old me
