Altered who I am

It's about a recent relationship that really affected me. In my eyes it caused me to act the way I do now towards women. I wrote this one night I was really upset, as my way of venting.

Man it's crazy you don't even understand

the way you left me broken hearted as if I'm not a man

Cause you caused this, you created who I am

you're the reason for the innocent hearts I have in hand

Because of you I couldn't stand to be a man

So i acted like a coward and from every girl I ran

For my heart belonged with you, so with her I couldn't stand

So I messed around with girls and eventually I ran

and never forgot the fact that her heart I had in hand

You turned me to theft, heart snatcher not a man

and to top all off I'm a godly created man

So instead of the world's ridicule, my father showed me his backhand

For he's still my father and won't allow a mockery of man

All this from a simple love story that I'd wish had never began

and the sad part is that even as we speak I'm still the man that ran

Hands full of hearts, correction I'm not a man

I'm a liar, a theft anything far from a man

All because I'm still in pursuit of your hand

It's crazy what love can do to a man

but don't get it twisted I was never truly a man

One year from eighteen but age doesn't make you man

However I'm growing cause I began to slow down as I ran

Can never truly return hearts of the girls I have in hand

But some moved on and passed on to another man

And for those who haven't I can only pray I that I can return what's in my hand

And some day when I'm older you'll forgive and,

See me as MAN.
