Oh, I gotta let you know that I ain't always been this way
Yeah the seasons all turned grey a couple years ago
On the day that marked me new
When I made that big mistake
I saw God, I felt the days all disappear
Conroe taught me real damn fear
So you wanna be a man
Smoke and drink your cares away
Laugh at all the things they say, like you know better
Boy, I got some news for you
You're so young and so naive
Spend a night alongside me and you'll remember
What you learned in Conroe changed you forever
For restoration, I want salvation
Levy up the dues I owe, I'm doing all I can
Since the day I turned eighteen this old life don't feel the same
See it ain't your fault, you were never really wrong about me
Oh, I used to be a boy with a narrow point of view
Not a thing I could not do, yeah, I was bitter
'Till it got the best of me and I learned to shut my mouth
Yeah the blood and all the doubt, I let it simmer
'Cause Conroe was the great mis-giver
For restoration, I want salvation
Levy up the dues I owe, I'm doing all I can
Since the day I turned eighteen this old life don't feel the same
See it ain't your fault, you were never really wrong about me
When I think too long about those days
I wanna run, I wanna run away
With my sister looking up to me
Can't run away, no I can't run away
For restoration, I want salvation
Levy up the dues I owe, I'm doing all I can
Since the day I turned eighteen this old life don't feel the same
See it ain't your fault
You were never really wrong about me
Oh I gotta let you know
I ain't always been this way
