"Every Man" lyrics

"Every Man"

I've got scars, I've got regrets
I've got some I ain't learned yet
I'm somewhere in the middle of it all
I've been working on a letter
That'll get returned to sender
The second my last sunset finally falls

There were hard parts
Couple false starts
But the same heart's still beating in my chest

I'm every man I've ever been
The forgiveness and the sin
Every loss and every win
All the bones that build the temple I've become
I'm the father and the son
All the foolish things I've done
Till the roads I've chose to run come to an end
I am every man I've ever been

I'm every book I've ever read
All the promises I've kept
Every word I've ever said come back to haunt me
Good intentions
And did I mention
That reflection's always changing through it all?

I'm every man I've ever been
The forgiveness and the sin
Every loss and every win
All the bones that build the temple I've become
I'm the father and the son
All the foolish things I've done
Till the roads I've chose to run come to an end
I am every man I've ever been

From the me I tried to hate
To the me that's taken shape
They built the temple I've been living in
I am not just any one of them
'Cause I am every man I've ever been
