I'm Not The Man I Used To Be Lyrics
When I’m in trouble or out of step
If my balance has been upset
Oh, there’s a feeling I can’t accept
There’s one thing, helps me to forget
Wonder what I’m thinking
Wonder why I’m drinking
But it’s plain to see,
I’m not the man I used to be
If life were easy and didn’t ask,
Didn’t tease me or take things back
I could start to understand,
What makes me the man I am
Wonder what I’m thinking
Wonder why I’m drinking
But it’s plain to see,
I’m not the man I used to be
Oh, it’s plain and it’s a shame
I’m not the man I used to be
I’ve lost dreams that won’t come back,
Memories fading fast
I should save the ones I have
What’s the use?
Most of them are bad
Wonder what I’m thinking
Wonder why I’m drinking
But it’s plain to see,
I’m not the man I used to be
Oh, it’s plain and it’s a shame
I can’t explain
But I’m not the man I used to be
It’s a shame, don’t know my name
I can’t explain
I’m not the man I used to be
Do you know my name?
Do you, do you need me?
But I’m not the man...
If my balance has been upset
Oh, there’s a feeling I can’t accept
There’s one thing, helps me to forget
Wonder what I’m thinking
Wonder why I’m drinking
But it’s plain to see,
I’m not the man I used to be
Didn’t tease me or take things back
I could start to understand,
What makes me the man I am
Wonder why I’m drinking
But it’s plain to see,
I’m not the man I used to be
I’m not the man I used to be
Memories fading fast
I should save the ones I have
What’s the use?
Most of them are bad
Wonder why I’m drinking
But it’s plain to see,
I’m not the man I used to be
I can’t explain
But I’m not the man I used to be
It’s a shame, don’t know my name
I can’t explain
I’m not the man I used to be
Do you know my name?
Do you, do you need me?
But I’m not the man...

I have related closely to this song since I first heard it. Have never knew truly why. It can probably speak to people in many different ways depending on what they feel is failing them. I understand it fully now. Was recently diagnosed with CTE from to many concussions(31) brain has been dying for 25 years. Its like I wrote it. I always thought he says "I've lost strenth that won't come back
