You might have heard the stories
Of the way I was before
But like I've said that man I left
Many years ago

Although at times I still can find
He rears his ugly head
The part of me that needs to be free
Wishes he was dead

But he does serve a purpose
A reminder so it seems
Not to get over confident
With the place that I'm now in

Feeling as though I'm in control
Of most decisions that I make
For as hard as it was to get this far
It can be easily taken away

So like I said I'm not the man
That I used to be
But still I know to stay on my toes
Because he's always watching me
