Not myself Verse 1: I was lost in the haze, of a drug-fueled dream A shadow of my former self, a mere fragment of my being I was trapped in the cycle, of addiction's deadly sway But now I'm breaking free, and starting a brand new day Chorus: I'm changing my ways, leaving the past behind I'm finding my true self, and leaving the drugs behind I'm rising from the ashes, like a phoenix born anew I'm transforming my life, and all the things I used to do Verse 2: I was a slave to the substance, a prisoner of my own mind But now I'm taking control, and leaving the chains behind I'm rediscovering my passions, and my purpose in life And I'm finding my true happiness, without the need for strife Chorus: I'm changing my ways, leaving the past behind I'm finding my true self, and leaving the drugs behind I'm rising from the ashes, like a phoenix born anew I'm transforming my life, and all the things I used to do Bridge: It's not easy, but I'm making progress every day I'm learning to love myself, in a whole new way I'm surrounded by support, and people who care And I'm grateful for this second chance, to live a life that's fair Chorus: I'm changing my ways, leaving the past behind I'm finding my true self, and leaving the drugs behind I'm rising from the ashes, like a phoenix born anew I'm transforming my life, and all the things I used to do Outro: I'm proud of the person, I'm becoming today A stronger, wiser, and healthier version, in every way I'm grateful for this journey, and the lessons I've learned And I'm excited for the future, and the life I've yet to burn.
