Life in Lyrics: That Wasn't Me...

Have you ever done or said something where you wanted to go back and say "That wasn't me..." or "I am not really like that"?  It seems to be a frequent theme for me lately.  It's not like I have done anything really bad or anything.  I just have been acting out of character and I don't like that girl.  I have been really rude on more than one occasion.  So rude that it even catches me off guard that I am being that way!  I am sure it is just because of the added stress I have been under lately, but I do not like it!  I know who I am and who I want to be, so here is to being me (and nice)!

Can you relate?

That Wasn't Me - Brandi Carlile
From her Bear Creek album (2012)


Hang on, just hang on for a minute
I've got something to say

I'm not asking you to move on or forget it

But these are better days

To be wrong all along and admit is not amazing grace

But to be loved like a song you remember
Even when you've changed

Tell me did I go on a tangent?
Did I lie through my teeth?
Did I cause you to stumble on your feet?
Did I bring shame on my family?
Did it show when I was weak?
Whatever you see, that wasn't me
That wasn't me, that wasn't me

When you're lost you will toss every lucky coin you'll ever trust
And you will hide from every god like he never turns his back on us
And you will fall all the way to the bottom and fall on your own knife
But you'll learn who you are even if it doesn't take your life

Tell me did I go on a tangent?
Did I lie through my teeth?
Did I cause you to stumble on your feet?
Did I bring shame on my family?
Did it show when I was weak?
Whatever you see, that wasn't me
That wasn't me, that wasn't me

But I want you to know that you'll never alone
I wanna believe do I make myself a blessing to everyone I meet
When you fall I will get you on your feet
Do I spend time with my family?
Did it show when I was weak?
When that's what you see, that will be me
That will be me, that will be me
That will be me
