HUMANIZED

I've been told to give up, give up my dreams
It's not my will that speaks, family's been saying these things
Friends are a past life, or it just seems so long ago
So many things I could ask you now but your answers I'll never know
Dad I found a girl, you must have heard my cries
She one of the good kind, I've been humanized 

Like a stray dog come home
Man turned king, found his throne 
So many rough edges, after many goodbyes 
I've dusted off that old jacket, fitted for humanized  

I've hurt a friend or two and trusted a few I could see through
Never was my intention to burn a bridge, never wanted to live out on that ridge
So may things I asked her last night, told me it'd be ok, I'd be alright
Guess she saw something in me, can a Phoenix rise above its past lies?
I've been feeling a little different these days, something humanized 

Like a stray dog come home
Man turned king, found his throne 
So many rough edges, after many goodbyes 
I've dusted off that old jacket, fitted for humanized
