If not for hard times, heavy concerns
Or having to walk the fiery coals of the bridges I'd burned
If not for heartache, lessons learned
By giving all my trust away
Before it was earned, I wouldn't be
I wouldn't be
I wouldn't be
Me
If not for lonely or fear
I'd never found the strength I feel as I stand here
If not for liars or tears
To tear me apart
To teach me
The value of being sincere
I wouldn't be
I wouldn't be
Me
There's been a lot of winding roads
To get me where I am today
And I'd be lying if I said I'd have it any other way
And I'd be lying if I said I'd have it any other way
Without facing all my demons
On the road to what you see
I wouldn't be
Me
I wouldn't be
Me
If not for trouble
And consequence
Consequence
Consequence
Yeah, I'd be a drifter without a dream
Still living on the fence
Rock bottom
If not for them
I'd never build on solid ground
Or build anywhere
I wouldn't be
I wouldn't be
Me
There's a lot of winding roads
To get me where I am today
I'd be lying if I said I'd have it any other way
Without facing all my demons
On the road to what you see
I wouldn't be
Me
There's a lot of winding roads
I wouldn't be
Me
I wouldn't be
Me
Me
Me
Me
Thank you.
