The Man That I’ve Become

[Verse 1]
What do you know, I'm living right
Took a while and some sleepless nights
But I finally turned myself to the light
And I'm really moving on
People say I cleaned up good
Now I'm doing better than I know I should
I should be dead in all likelihood
But instead I'm writing you

[Chorus]
To say how much I know I truly let you down
And I know I never was a real good man
Like you have now
And I'm so sorry for the wreckage
And damage that I've done
See, you never knew I was just twelve steps away
From the man that I've become

[Verse 2]
I let go in steps one and two
Three I prayed God would get me through
Oh, four and five were so hard to do
But the good Lord knows I did it
Step six changed how I looked at things
Now I finished seven in early spring
Eight, made a list of people I'd done wrong
So tonight I'm writing you

[Chorus]
To say how much I know I truly let you down
And I know I never was a real good man
Like you have now
And I'm so sorry for the wreckage
And damage that I've done
See, you never knew I was just twelve steps away
From the man that I've become

[Bridge]
I'm learning more and more each and every day
And one day they say
That I can give it all away
But until then, I'm writing you

[Chorus]
To say how much I know I truly let you down
And I know I never was a real good man
Like you have now
And I'm so sorry for the wreckage
And damage that I've done
See, you never knew I was just twelve steps away
From the man that I've become
