[Pre-Chorus]
A couple hundred thousand cigarette buds (cigarette buds)
A million beers or maybe more, Ooh
A couple dozen times I've messed things up (messed things up)
But I'm movin' on from before, Ooh

People don't like me for things I forgot
But I can't pretend to be someone I'm not

[Chorus]
I've been sober, I've been wasted
I spent most of my life in between
I've been sorry, been mistaken
I've been nothing, but how God made me

[Chorus]
And I ain't gonna hate myself no more
Baby I ain't pеrfect, But maybe I'm workin'

I ain't gonna break down likе before
And baby I'm hurtin', but I'm a stronger version (3 2 1)

A couple hundred thousand pills swallowed (pills swallowed)
A million tears or maybe more; Oh-oh
A couple dozen pretty hearts I broke (hearts I broke)
But that isn't me anymore; Oh-oh
People don't like me for things I've forgot
But I can't pretend to be someone I'm not

I've been sober, I've been wasted
I spent most of my life in-between
I've been sorry, been mistaken
I've been nothing, but how God made me

And I ain't gonna hate myself no more
Baby I ain't perfect, But maybе I'm workin'

I ain't gonna break down like before
And baby I'm hurtin', but I'm a stronger version (3 2 1)

Lord I hit the ditch, walked right off the edge
I got knocked down and got up again
Oh I tried to live more like my friends
I can't be nothing but just what I am

And I've been sober, I've been wasted
I spent most of my life in-between
I've been sorry, been mistaken
I can't be be nothing, but how God made me (3 2 1)

And I ain't gonna hate myself no more
Baby I ain't perfect, But maybе I'm workin'
I ain't gonna break down like before
And baby I'm hurtin', but I'm a stronger version
