Once you gave me such passion
I never could imagine
We would bid adieu

I wish this wasn't so cliche
If it weren't true you know I wouldn't say it
But it's me, it ain't you

I remember our younger days
We connected in so many ways
We thought we were the same

But you don't get my references
I stopped sharing your preferences
Our old bonds I now find lame

I don't want you to grieve
But now I have to leave
There's nothing I regret
I'm just not the man you met

Don't try to drag this out
Don't wait until we scream and shout
Let's stop before we fight

We're concluding so many years
Of joy, of pain, of sweat, of tears
We'll do it justice tonight

Now don't turn that smile upside down
You always knew I'd leave this town
We just didn't know the timing

And if I could explain the ways
This hurts me too it would take days
I'm not that good at rhyming

I don't want you to grieve
But now I have to leave
There's nothing I regret
But I'm not the man you met

[Instrumental]

So take a seat, let's reminisce
About the times that we'll miss
We might not get another chance

And when the barkeep shouts last call
And it's time to close it all
We can share one more dance

I don't want you to grieve
But now I have to leave
There's nothing I regret
I'm just not the man you met

I don't want you to grieve
But now I have to leave
Cause over time I've changed
While you, you stayed the same

[Instrumental]

I'm not who I used to be

Not who I used to be

Not who I used to be

I'm not who I used to be

I'm not who I used to be

I'm not who I used to be

I'm not who I used to be

I'm not who I used to be

I'm not who I used to be

I'm not who I used to be

I'm not who I used to be
