[Verse 1]
Been a broken down car on the side street
Damn near lost it all on a bad week, hm
I was praying for change
How could only twelve steps feel so far away?
So many lies, I stopped counting
Trying to walk a straight line felt like trying to move a mountain
And I was praying for change, would’ve died if I’d’ve stayed the same, hm

[Chorus]
I hate the man I used to be
But he’ll always be a part of me

Right now, looking at my past
I know it’s unpretty
Can’t hide the pain that I’ve been through
I wear my scars like my tattoos
The man who I was was wrong
But he’s the one who built me

[Post-Chorus]
Say
“I am nothing without my sins
I can’t pretend I’m not all pretty”

[Verse 2]
Been the whiskey glass left half empty
Seen the bright lights a few times and that’s what saved me
Ain’t no stranger to pain, the ones who love me all feel the same (Oh)
When every one step forward felt ten steps back
Lot of years in the dark felt just like that, oh
I never thought I’d see the day when I forgive myself and say

[Chorus]
“I hate the man I used to be
But he’ll always be a part of me
Right now, looking at my past
I know it’s unpretty

Can’t hide the pain that I’ve been through
I wear my scars like my tattoos
The man who I was was wrong
But he’s the one who built me”

[Post-Chorus]
Say
“I am nothing without my sins
I can’t pretend I’m not all pretty”
Say
“I am (I am) nothing (Nothing) without (Without) my sins (My sins)
I can’t pretend I’m not all pretty”

[Outro]
I hate the man I used to be
But he’ll always be a part of me
Right now, looking at my past
I know it’s unpretty
