I watched the proverbial sunrise
Coming up over the Pacific
And 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
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've crossed it
Stop right there
Well, I never should've 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 never become that way again
Cause who I am hates who I've been
Who I am hates who I've been
I talked to absolutely no one
Couldn't keep to myself enough
And the things bottled inside
Had finally begun to create so much pressure
That I'd soon blow up
And I heard the reverberating footsteps
Syncing 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
This is no place to try and live my life
Stop right there
That's exactly where I lost it
See that line?
I never should've crossed it
Stop right there
I never should've said that
It's the very moment that I wish that I could take back
Stop right there
That's exactly where I lost it
See that line?
Well, I never should've crossed it
Stop right there
Well, I never should've said that
It's the very moment that I wish that I could take back
I'm sorry for (Sorry for) the person I became
I'm sorry that (Sorry that) it took so long for me to change
I'm ready to (Ready to) be sure I never become that way again
Cause who I am hates who I've been
Who I am hates who I've been
Who I am hates who I've been
And who I am will take the second chance You gave me
Who I am hates who I've been
Cause who I've been only ever made me
So sorry for (Sorry for) the person I became
So sorry that (Sorry that) it took so long for me to change
I'm ready to (Ready to) be sure I never become that way again
Cause who I am hates who I've been
Who I am hates who I've been
the song is refering to how sorry someone is after they truly become a Christian and realize how selfish and arrogant they were before they met God personally. It is a big change, especially for someone who becomes a Christian in his or her later years in life. The lyrics say how they will never look back at how the used to act and go back to living that way. (P.S. Relient K is a Christian band, but they don't come right out in their songs and say that because they want to be able to reach out to those that aren't Christians, too!)
i would have to slightly disagree with you all as i think the meanings are deeper than they seem... it could be anything like to me i have recently had problems with my fiance... she said she doesnt know who i am anymore and wanted the old me back... so i started to realize i need to change back to the fun, happy, loveing, and carefree me she fell in love with... and the moment i returned i felt so bad for what id put her through i think this song is covering that perhaps.. but thats only my opinions... feel free to add to what ive said
I think that this song means that The lead singer or whomever wrote the song is saying that They are Sorry for the way they have acted or grew up, and they want to change, so they are saying sorry to they person that they may have hurt.
