Lyrics: The Man I Was
Album: Lessons Learned
Artist: Tracy Lawrence
 

Look at me in that photograph
Before we were ever us
Long before you found someone else
And broke our sacred trust

I hardly recognize myself
Sure has been awhile
Amazing how much my life has changed
Since i’ve worn that smile

What happened to that smile

(chorus)
There i am with my head held high
My step was quick and my eyes were bright
Back when i believed in love
And would lay my heart on the line
I don’t know which hurts the most
Losing you or having to see
The picture of the man i was
Before the fool you made of me
I’ve wasted time here missing you
Doubting who i am
I can’t make you something you’re not
But i can be me again
Oh deep down i know i can…
(repeat chorus)
(tag)
I want to be the man i was
Before the fool you made of me
