The Man I Once Was Lyrics by Rolland Square

2019

Where oh where do I begin?
Unravelling this mess I’m in
What went wrong?
You knew all along
A higher power might intervene
Repenting till my soul is clean
I’m free, nothing bothers me
Maybe one day I’ll find times lost long ago
Maybe some day I’ll plant dreams and watch them grow
Simple peace of mind
Can’t be hard to find
But I'm inclined to let it go
And now I find I’m lost for words
The man I once was I preferred
Even though I can’t rewind
I’d settle for a little peace of mind
The streets are old and worn and blue
The sunny days are fast and few
Where’d they go?
Tell me what do you know
We’ll reminisce as we unwind
Remember – oh yeah, mind that time?
Way back when… I’d do it again
It’s easier to run your mouth than be discreet
The bitter taste of pride that’s swallowed in defeat
Simple peace of mind
Can’t be hard to find
But I’ll let you know when we meet
And now I find I’m lost for words
The man I once was I preferred
Even though I can’t rewind
I’d settle for…
Something tells me you’re not being quite honest with me
And something tells me that it ain’t all as it seems
Simple peace of mind
Now seems hard to find
And i don’t quite know what it means
What it means
What it means
What it means
