- lyrics:
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
Six months ago, I didn't have anything. I didn't have a job, a car, or a home. I was a heroin addict and I had lost just about everything in my life.
Now? I'm sitting in my first apartment, just got home from my full time job, and haven't touched a substance since April 15th.
Who I am hates who I've been. And today, I'm free.
That's so great!!! I don't even really know you, but I'm proud of you!!! :)
Wow :) that's amazing. I'm really happy you got your life together and I wish many people can follow in your footsteps :).
This is beautiful
Awesome!!
im so happy for you congradulations u should be very proud of yourself
I haven't heard this song in almost 10 years. It hits pretty hard.
Same, I heard it from my paper jams guitar I got as a kid😂
Come back and listen to it again!!! I love coming back to songs after a while!
I got right with God today. It was chapel at my Junior High and High Schoolers where there too. It brought tears too my eyes when when someone shared there story that they jumped in front of a car and God grabbed him and said, "You are mine" I ran away from home once than came back and since then I was really angry. Then hearing his story reminded me of my own and I realized I am here to serve God. Now I apologized to my girlfriend. Who I am hates who I've been. But God forgives us.
My science teacher has a relient k poster in his class it makes me so happy
That's amazing
If I was a teacher I would totally decorate the room with a few band posters
Zachary Hart but would you stick a RK poster up? 😁
@Profile710 I'd rather never have to live through a class taught by someone who respects Rage against the machine.
My girlfriend passed away a couple months ago due to addiction. She played this song for me one night and I know it was her way of apologizing. She definitely wasn't the same person the last few months she was alive and she knows it. Rest easy my love. Until we meet again. I love you.
So sorry for your loss!
I'm so glad she made amends.
this band doesn't just sing christian songs.. it refers many times to love and other everyday things as well.. and they're great. IMO this is the best album for Relient K thus far...
God IS love.
Without Him, there not only isn't love, there isn't ANYTHING.
Love Relient K, their music has encouraged me in Christ's love and forgiveness, many times in my struggles. I cant say that about many rock bands, but they definitely did.
As a Christian I like this song best out of the most young Christianity songs that plays nowadays. It sends a good message that every Christian as well as others sin no matter how hard we try, but we shouldn't just let it take over our lives and try to hide it from the Lord because we are ashamed. But we should show him so we can change because we wish to change our sinful ways.
BTW This song has a kick ass beat.
Our efforts are nothing compared to what's happening in the spiritual realm.
We can do nothing good without His guidance.
I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THEM AT ROCK THE UNIVERSE.
'I'd rather be hated than loved for someone I'm not'
-Yours truely
+Brantley “Cody Valentine” Martin Wow. 😮 I never knew that someone else came up with that before me! Well, its a large world, so any1 couldve i suppose
+Brantley “Cody Valentine” Martin k den
Lol that's a modified version of a song lyric
I don't care where it came from, I still love the message!
Kurt Cobain
Loved this song decades years ago and here I am again listening to it because it’s getting me through another dark time ❤️
Happy 23rd birthday sis! I miss you and love you so much. Thank you for watching over us all these years. Please help keep us safe and please help those who are in need. I stop by your room to say hi often. Thank you so much for everything. You are still the strength I need. I love you and miss you sis. Again Happy Birthday! RIP.
Jamming out to this song for you. Your favorite song and last song you had on your myspace profile.
I'm sorry, but I don't think when people go to Heaven, they protect people. But I'm 100% sure your sister can watch you.
+R. Andrew Neal doesn't mean you should make someone lose their hope. i don't even believe in heaven but if someone said that to me i wouldn't burst their hopd
+jody Marie walston youre a fucking beast
+MATIX is that a good thing?🤔
+jody Marie walston he was giving his opinion he didn't ask for you to but in but yet I'm butting in on this one because I can 💁
I woke up and remembered these lyrics. I looked it up and its exactly the song that I needed to hear. I havent heard this song in 4 years yet I still remembered the lyrics because the song is so memorable.
after overcoming a meth addiction (I've been clean for 3 years now) and how low I let myself get this song reminds me I never want to become that person again
Laura Holloway proud of you
Laura Holloway congratulations. Addictions are hard. 2 people I knew were on alcohol. One died other went mia. But keep up good work
I forgot how awesome these guys were. Brings back high school memories.
I used to be very depressed. Hell, I spent over half of my life depressed. I got over it with songs like this and now this song is my own personnal theme song. I hate who I used to be and I praise God for the miracles he did to make me the person I am.
This is an amazing song! I've been listening to Be My Escape for so long that I figured it was abot time I ventured out farther in their music and, boy, did I make a good decision! =D
In recovery. Every time I think of relapsing I listen to this and remind myself how much more I love myself sober. Love this song ❤️
This song has meaning and I can see why it was played on Air1.
The song seems to emphasize brokenness which is to be emotionally distressed over sorrow, or sin, to have a contrite spirit. This song is truly meaningful. God bless you all.
Especially those who have so many fans/ so much influence. The Bible states that they will be judged more.
I was never a cutter or (very) suicidal or had anything too traumatic happen to me. I just had self esteem issues and trouble with figuring out what was going on with me. I feel like this describes this ongoing battle that I'm having with myself. It made me admit once more how powerful music can be. It's amazing.
There is so many people on the internet who would consider this song as the song that represents them the best.
...Including me.
This song took the words right out of my mouth. Love the song, thanks for the lyrics!
This song is so true and beautiful. It's the song that got me into Relient K almost two years ago. Relient K forever!
This song is so near to my heart. It always makes me think of my ex... She was, and still is, the love of my life. Great band great song.
The nostalgia of this song keeps me from associating it with my ex. I also hate her and don't want her back. Just reminds me of the simple times playing NHL 2005 on the Playstation 2 with my older brother. Good times man.
Dylan hellllll yea broooo
Dylan lol ps2, that was soo long ago. That was my first ps. I got it to play kingdom hearts
after 8 years have passed, i gotta say i can really relate to this now. i really hate who ive been
i was having a super difficult time in my life, and i feel like i can relate sooo much more. i used to be suicidal...hated everyone. but i mostly hated myself. alot of shit happened in my life, and i feel like i needed to be that person to be the person i am today. so thanks, Relient K. for letting me know im not the only one...who hates who they've been.
I used to be so depressed. I was extremely rude, disrespectful, sad, and moody. I hated myself in every way possible. I hated my looks, my body, who I was as a person. I had even cut myself. I had thought about killing myself. Then I grew up and got over it. I stopped being a terrible friend, daughter, and a person. I stopped doubting God. This song really hits home because who I am now.... I really do hate who I was before.
Is it just me, or does this sound like it could fit well as an anime opening/ending
The "Introduction" Makes think about that HAHAH ! nice one ! :D
Bwizz245 If you think this song sounds like one, then listen to 'I need you' (Relient k as well).
Brennon Webb
Fuck,now i can't stop thinking abt it
Prob
I loved this song so much when I was a kid. I remember hearing it in a NOW That's What I Call Music CD in 2006 and had the song in my Xbox's hard drive so I could hear it in my games. Good times.
thought I was the only one who found it that way :D There was another song quite like this on that cd and I can't think of it for the life of me
The name of the CD was NOW That's What I Call Music 21 for this song. Fall Out Boy's 'Dance, Dance' was on that CD as well.
I found it on the NOW thats what I call music show on tv.
i heard this song years ago. it never made sense to me then. recently i found God. i remembered this song and the band and i found it again. now it makes so much sense! TheRealMrAqua describes it perfectly.
Wow. This song illustrates exactly what my heart is saying right now.
Who's listening to this in 2016??
I am and this is a beautiful song
+michael welch meeee
+Rebecka 'Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ lol
No, you're the only one.
Me
Love sucks sometimes. People give up when things get difficult. He was my everything and I failed him.. he was the only thing that kept me living and he’ll never truly know that or believe it.
ohhh the nostalgiaaaaa, God can't we go back to these days, when life was so simple !!! I is give anything to go back to these days ! but we never will , so no use for hoping ... 😯
I want my best friend back.
You and I both
That's the worst
Me too. He's been gone 2 years now.
Me too man. Me too
Same here mate
This song makes me cry every time I listen to it
My English+Home Ec teacher used to be obsessed with relient k i guess, and yesterday during home ec she played their music & i rly liked it. So lol yee here I am, and yet I'm still shook by how gud this song is
this song is so good....especially to those who went through a big change
Anyone else notice how they have like the best quotes in their songs. I love it
Your past mistakes made you who are today, repent and be forgiven and live the life you deserve
In my case, I'd say make amends to those you have wronged. I feel everyone had a chapter in their lives they aren't proud of. However, I totally agree with you. When you take all the good and the bad, you grow, evolve, and can constantly improve upon yourself. "To err is human, to forgive is divine." It's just as important to forgive others of their transgressions against us as it is to forgive yourself for your human mistakes.
Amen and Amen
@@sarapatrick9695 that's so beautiful and well said.
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
Since I was twelve, nothing really beats this song when it comes to realizing of things about your life...now, I'm 17!
After many years i related to hating my past self while listening to this, nowadays I realize that those mistakes were ok to make in order to become the person I always wanted to be.
Forgive yourself and move forward
Who I am appreciates who I've been.
What a banger of a song this is.
This is me sometimes...hating on my old self
Anyone else here in 2019?
2020
2021
my coach showed this song (/music video) when he was talking to us about God (christian school) and then i studied the lyrics, and this explains my life. completely. its like god led me to this song to tell me im not alone and stuff. it helps. a lot. idk y im sharing this on the utube. butyeah.
2023 and this song still has relevance to my life. hey to the person reading this give Jesus a chance He loves you you are loved
Who's listening to this in 2015??
meeeeeeeee!!!!!
+Rainy J oh ya I am lol
+zendaya gomez now in 2016
+zendaya gomez This guy right here.
2016!
stop right there!
that's exactly where i lost it
see that line?
Well, i should've never 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
Dated a girl for two years, she left me and I felt lost, and my heart got cold, and it was hurting the people close to me. This song really makes me realize what a cold person I've become when the real me is outgoing and happy. Reliant K can really hit close to a lot of their fans hearts and bring us back from the slump we're in, I believe they'll have me as their fan for a very long time because of this.
It's incredible to know that you've turned your life around and that you stopped doubting God. That's so awesome. Seeing your comment definitely put a smile on my face. (:
Much love. xx
HOW DOES THIS PERFECTLY DESCRIBE MY LIFE. HOW
Grace Branch you made that decision because ..... you're addicted to something ... or I your a little damaged ... It's all 3 for me
Who's listening to this in 2023? 👍
Who's listening in 2028? ;)
Ugh really guys?
It's 3001! Come on!
Eujean Yu last time I checked it was 4001 but whatever I guess...
Smh it's 7002 what you guys thinking?
Main Street Media I will be. I mean it's not yet 2020 though >
I love this song. It speaks to me because I have recently done a 180 with my life. I used to be the good girl who followed the rules and did what I was supposed to. Then I started smoking weed and cigarettes, and drinking & partying, not caring about anyone else. It was fun while it lasted, but it wasn't me, and I hated the fact that I lost myself. I'm grateful that I was able to quit and get my life where I want it to be.
Why does this bring back memories from like, 6 years ago..? This song is making me so nostalgic and I have no idea why
This is the only song I know by them, and it's GREAT!
Aimee Farmer Check out "Sadie Hawkins dance" it sounds like this and it's AWESOME and funny
Aimee Farmer Also, Be My Escape - those two are the only ones I know myself and they are both great
Heyooooo007 also Pressing On :D
You gotta listen to be my escape!!!
Currently listening in 2016
Currently listening in 2017
Currently listening in 2018
Greatest song ever!!! Been for looking forever!!!
Last time I checked, the Bible is the WORD of God. It was God-breathed, the authors of the books were spoken to, by God, and were told what to write.
who i am still hates who i am
I hope 3 years has been enough time to where that's no longer the case.
And i can't let that happen aagain.....
This songs describes something I went through during the first half of this year almost perfectly
an old NOW cd made me discover relient K & hear everyone of their amazing songs. but this remains the best
I'm an atheist but I love relient k
what a stupid comment
Why
+Christina Skuchenkova no one gives a shit
+Christina Skuchenkova what does being atheist have anything to do with liking a band? Yeah they're Christians but it's not like they sing about receiving the Eucharist. It's like saying "I'm a vegan but I like this band". No one cares.
If you don't care, don't comment.
This is on my toy drums
love this song!!! i saw relient k in concert last may 2010 with paramore!!! best ever!!!!
I understand you completely... This song for me is A LOT more than a relationship, I was an awful person because of certain activities I was involving myself in.... This song... It changed my life.
I'm here because of a certain brony. His story plus this song hits like an emotional freight train.
That's funny, because I came to this song because it reminded me of Sunset Shimmer.
I love that guy... reduced me to tears...
It's Josh, right?
Who is it?
I fucked up...I'm so sorry.
This song reminds me of my past soooo much,and by past I mean my entire life up to about a week ago.The statement "I can't let that happen again cuz' then you'll see my heart in the saddest state its ever been" and "its the very moment i wish i could take back" mean alot to me....i truely hate myself,i know that sounds sad and demeaning but its only true,i dont like myself.but i truely love Reilent K and who I'm trying to be(: Thanks Zac for showing me what to not be and how to be wat i need,ily
We are to hate the flesh. God allows the Enemy to run the earth (including our flesh). In order to allow God in totally, we must ignore the flesh. It's a daily struggle for me.
The sudden loud start makes me flinch EVERY TIME. I never get used to it for some reason.
My life story ladies and gentleman
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
i don't care that their a Christian band you can still like the music, and this is one of my favorite songs by them.
I turned 30 a few days ago and this song definitely hits, been doing a lot of reflecting lately
Crazy to think that this song is a christian song.
How so?
Listen to the lyrics and it's just telling you: "I'm a Christian song."
+John Donahue it's from a self proclaimed Christian band that's why XD
The verses are like talking to others, and the chorus is like a prayer of repentance to God.
lol not its not
they just sharing their talent to God.
Guys, relient k can make people interpret their songs differently, and that is awesome. I can see it from so many ways, and I have friends who see it and can think that its not Christian, and you can see it in the perspective of an atheist or whatever religion. So stop having a comment war and enjoy the music
i just heard this song and this band yesterday at my youth group and know im hooked!!!!!!!!!
"hooowayyammheinngtuuowaaabidd, hooowayyammheinngtuuowaaabidd"
I don't get this but it makes me laugh.
Xavier Javier Its sad i know exactly what part this this is and now i cant stop hearing that everytime
THIS IS SO FUNNT
around 1:13?
😂😂😭😭😭💀💀💀
i use to drive fast whit this song on fwy
the phrase "And i cant let that happen again" really touches me
Christian bands always makin' those positive ass songs
~ December 2015 listener ~
i think i'll relate to this song for now. Sometimes i hate who i am.
so weak
younube fkoffggl no one likes cyber bullies. Bullying online is cowardly, and bullying in general is looked down on.
Besides, a faggot is either a bundle of sticks or a homosexual. Neither of those are real insults (unless you have a problem with bundles of sticks or you're homophobic and think calling someone gay is clever and insulting).
So, congratulations. You're a coward and you suck at coming up with good insults.
And, really... calling someone a "faggot"? How unoriginal can you get?
Elise O'neil Thanks for the back up. Didn't even see that comment this person left. He'll be OK. I'll ask God to forgive him.
I feel you. Just remember that God made you in His image and you are who He says you are.
Listen to "I So Hate Consequences" :D
When ever I hear this song makes me stop right there it's my go to song when I need strength
Oh I know I can relate to this song.Thank you Jesus for coming into my heart and saving my life.I was a mess.
i just saw them live and they sang this song and it was WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's about the relationship with God. This person made so many mistakes in his life to the point that he acknowledges that he had crossed the line. He is so sorry for what he has done. When he became a new person by accepting Jesus Christ; the new person hates who he was and won't make mistakes again. This is the purpose of Jesus Christ dieing; to get "it" right with God; to have a second "chance" He gave us.
who's listening in 2004
X Box Love the irony of this
those comments piss me off
like I WOULDNT BE HERE IF I WASNT LISTENING TO IT NOW
DUHHH
You have 666 subscribers. How ironic.
***** ironic because this is a christian band
ConsumptionBand Earls Did u know. Christianity Is retarded & Sexist?
"I permit no woman to teach or have authority over men; she is to keep silent." Timothy 2:11
This is In the bible btw. Gods own words :))
I can see how people might say this is a "Christian" song...but Christian or not, its still an amazing song.
This song is so Awesome! Rock on Relient K!
It's ironic that I listen to this song in regards to how I used to be a Christian.
steelplatedheart Christianity is the most beautiful way of life! Why did you stop if I may ask?
"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"
Where it says "And" .. it's actually suppose to be "End"
Love this song =D
I love it. I also like the fact that this band is Christian. It makes me happy :)
It's a song of repentance can completely relate! Going down the wrong path and saying sorry to the people you've hurt.
Its amazing the references you catch when you listen to this song with Jesus.
although i despise christianity i cannot help myself but to listen to relient K they never talk about god really but either way i love them
i was on my spotify playlist radio for older music and this came on about 2 days ago. i’m literally obsessed with this song and know all the words now.
Ik its a good song*
You're right! Matt Thiessen wrote the song in Australia in light of a feud with Brian Pittman, the band's bassist. The lyrics reflect remorse for his behavior, as well as pleas for forgiveness. So it's actually a guy writing about his feud with his friend. Not a girlfriend or bible related.
