    “I'm Not Who I Was”
    I wish you could see me now
    I wish I could show you how
    I'm not who I was
    I used to be mad at you
    A little on the hurt side too
    But I'm not who I was
    I found my way around
    To forgiving you some time ago
    But I never got to tell you so...
    I found us in a photograph
    I saw me and I had to laugh
    You know I'm not who I was
    You were there, you were right above me
    And I wondered if you ever loved me
    Just for who I was
    When the pain came back again
    Like a bitter friend
    It was all that I could do
    To keep myself from blaming you
    Thinkin' it's a funny thing
    Figured out I could sing
    Now I'm not who I was
    Write about love and such
    Maybe cause I want it so much
    I'm not who I was
    I was thinking' maybe I
    Should let you know
    That I am not the same
    That I never did forget your name
    Hello...
    Ooh Nah nah nah nah nah
    And the thing I find most amazing
    In amazing grace
    Is the chance to give it out
    Maybe that's what love is all about
    I wish you could see me now
    I wish I could show you how
    I'm not who I was...

    I love the part where Brandon went, "hello" as if you came across someone you once knew, but you're a different person now and it's like meeting them all over again.
    It's funny cause I've played this song many times when I was a teenager, but it didn't really resonate with me until now. Looking back with a clear mind, I can see that sometimes things happen and people comes and goes and we change. There are some people I do miss and some I still care for, but will love them in a distance. There are some people I'd love to shoot a message with this link just to show them that I'm not who I once was. But at the same time, I do not want to bother them and wish them well. I'm sure some of them have changed too.

    I am an addict, I am also a Christian. I had serious doubt just twenty mins ago about life. I have been baptised before. I have never truly prayed. Until I had hit my bottom. Then eyes bawling, I sat there and prayed genuinely for help. I prayed for a sign. A reason why I should keep going, and a reason why I can't just start over and be happy with who I am. Then I said amen. And o went to CZcams to one of my favorite songs give me your eyes by Brandon Heath. And accidentally hit this song. I saw the name and it all came clear. I can be who I want to be. Why can't I start over. Why can't I be who god wants me to be. But most of all I can be happy. I have had a spiritual awakening due to god and you Brandon Heath. So god bless you so much. Thank you. Amen.

    Oh my goodness, this song hits home with me so much. I used to be such a different person, self-centered, manipulative, needy and struggled with mental illness. God has brought me so far, healed me so much but I had a close friend step out a year ago and I wish I could tell her I'm better, who God has made me. I'm an overcomer, I've conquered so much and I'm not the same, praise the LORD!

I like you have had problems with depression, health but most of all problems with a person that I love so much I hurt him but he he has cut ties with me I've tried everything to get him to forgive me and he acts like I don't exist. I wish he would give me a chance to tell him that IM NOT WHO I WAS...

    I found this two days ago on KLOV on way to work, and was moved to tears; it rings so true and from the heart. I wondered who it was, made a mental note, and found it later. I heard it all that night in my head while working, and that proved what a powerful song it was. Christian or not, makes no difference; it's from the heart, and that is how one person connects to another.

    God keeps putting this song on my playlist - seriously, for months this has been coming up. So tonight I wrote a message long over due. The beauty is the embrace of our Lord in an earthly moment that could have destroyed me. It didn't. So, it was time to say, I'm not who I was and praise be to our Lord Jesus Christ who loves us just as who we are! Brandon, thank you for sharing something that lives today just as much as when you recorded this amazing song!

    I have been raised as a Christian my entire life, but it took a horrible life altering decision I made several years ago, and the prayer and forgiveness from my wonderful pastor to make me actually find the Lord. From that day on, my life was forever changed and I most definitely I'm not who I was. My father and I grew up always loving each other, but not liking each other very much and unfortunately he passed away before he was able to see this change in me. So, listening to this song resonated so deeply that I just needed to take the time and let you know. Thank you so much for the wonderful gift of this song.

    For me, these lyrics are what I would have wanted to say to my folks. The unbalanced years of childhood sexual abuse by a neighbor and the rough home life created so much chaos in my young life.
    Years of therapy (with a skilled therapist) helped to untangle nearly all of it. There are still threads that show up.
    Those who caused the turmoil are long gone but the affects remain. This tune goes deep.

    When I first heard this song on the radio it was so close to home and so painful I had to cut the volume down after hearing it the first time. I cried. It took leaving home and going off to college to truly come into myself. And yes I was a Christian but young. I wish I could reach every older child/teenager who is like I was in any respect and tell them that if they can just hang in there until after they get out and build their own lives it will be better. Especially if they find the love of the Savior

Even if she exists still in another way, it's been the most difficult journey of my life so far. That said, every day I feel I've inched just a tiny bit more forward... and today I thought of her and this song and it meant a hell of a lot. So thank you for its existence.

Crying for me a way of healing. I always feel better when I do. I loved my grandmother and she was my religious guide in some way. Since her death I kinda lost what was important and what she spent her life teaching me. I do agree that even if your not religious people are capable of amazing things and great change. Its up to them to be the change they want to see in the world.

    I heard this song when it first came out. I loved it. Listened to it over and over! Living in Tulsa, OK. I am a PK and unless you have lived that basically it's like no one understands. I walked away from God although at the time of the song coming out, I was walking towards him and it helped me heal. Still went astray, and I had not heard it in in years. I have made many different choices since then, good and bad. But I moved to SC with the help of my brother and I heard it the other day on HIS Radio. It has been a progressive move to say the least, but since I have moved here and with the help of my church and HIS radio, I have since made some changes towards where I need to be with Christ.
