"I'm Not Him" lyrics

Don't worry, Mama, I'll be out in a few weeks
I just traded all my freedom for one too many drinks
I know you love me in the midst of all my sin
Heaven knows that was me, but I'm not him

How many rock bottoms can one man hit?
'Til I fall face first through the ground and can't come up from it
So many times I wish I didn't, but I did
Heaven knows that was me, but I'm not him

When it comes to luck, I get the short end of the stick
I have followed these damn demons and bloodied both my fists
What doesn't kill a man can only benefit
Lord knows that I'm sick of it

How many rock bottoms can one man hit?
'Til I fall face first through the ground and can't come up from it
So many times I wish I didn't, but I did
Heaven knows that was me, but I'm not him

No, I'm not him
No, I'm not him

How many more times will I fall on my face?
Before I realize that it's time that I change
So many times I wish I didn't, but I did
Heaven knows that was me, but I'm not him

No, I'm not him
No, I'm not him
