Brandi Carlile - That Wasn't Me Lyrics
Hang on, just hang on for a minute
I've got something to say
I'm not asking you to move on or forget it
But these are better days
To be wrong all along and admit it, is not amazing grace
Even when you've changed
Tell me, did I go on a tangent?
Did I lie through my teeth?
Did I cause you to stumble on your feet?
Did I bring shame on my family?
Did it show when I was weak?
Whatever you've seen, that wasn't me
That wasn't me, oh that wasn't me
And you'll hide from your God like he ever turns his back on us
And you will fall all the way to the bottom and land on your own knife
And you'll learn who you are even if it doesn't take your life
Tell me, did I go on a tangent?
Did I lie through my teeth?
Did I cause you to stumble on your feet?
Did I bring shame on my family?
Did it show when I was weak?
Whatever you've seen, that wasn't me
That wasn't me, oh that wasn't me
But I want you to know that you'll never be alone
I wanna believe, do I make myself a blessing to everyone I meet
When you fall I will get you on your feet
Do I spend time with my family?
Did it show when I was weak?
When that's what you've seen, that will be me
That will be me, that will be me
That will be me

Amazing video for an amazing song!
Is that Kris Kristofferson in the video?
Cote Loef yes
God, she's amazing. Just an incredible talent. And Kris Kristofferson!
You know you're bada** when Kris Kristofferson is in your video.
Brandi: you are amazing...yours voice is an inspiration endless. THANK YOU !"!
She caught me on the counter, saw me bangin' on the sofa...
Nice video, although I prefer the live version I heard on a tiny desk concert a while back. Just my personal preference. Cool to have K.K. in the video there =) I heard about the email listening to a KEXP session. That was pretty awesome.
Omg, they let him, drunks stick together, nobody would testify, the man he stabbed said he didn’t Remember a thing, was this grace from god, or insanity. I am so confused. But very happy he’s free.
I am in the middle of it, I was at Memphis getting a liver transplant and my brother was busy partying and stabbed a young man in his back, ran for 7 years, now it goes to jury trial next week. He inherited that nasty old gene alcohol sensitivity. I just hope he knows I love him even he got so abusive on the jail house phone I had to block him. Pray for him please. Mountain woman Norma
I knew she was eX ceptional ever since the story....
Brandi Carlile deserves much more than just 11k likes.this song is inspirational and amazing.
Oh My God! I love this song... Where have you been Brandi! I found you now...all is good, all is complete. Thank you, thank you
pls kris theres more to life than jail
wow...just awesome. didn't know you managed to get Kris Kristofferson into your music video. Legendary.
Was surprised to see Kristofferson.... older yes but undoubtedly him. A great songwriter with a conscience also.
That wasn't me...
Beautiful, as always. What a voice. Great song. Bliss
Just a beautiful song.
Mega jam.
I have never been this far down. I have done my own things that have come close. I have family who came a lot closer than I. I know others who went all the way down this road. I love this song.
Your voice is from galaxies!
She reminds me so much of Bonnie Raitt on this one.
Your words are magic to me. I look up to you could I would like to be a singer one day. And I look up to you as a person and an artist
I was crying the whole video.
Just plain beautiful, this video.
2018 >3
Oh how I've come a long way! I am a blessing and I will catch you.. Cheers! Xo
So cool that Kris Kristopherson did this video. Another singer who sings from the 💓.
2018 <33333
Крис Кристоферсон ?
As I said to a friend yesterday, it’s never a shame if the opportunity you missed is still possible. And Life is just this: an opportunity, still possible.
I agree and also I'm a Mari Taylor (maiden name) were some smart cookies of the same name!
@Mari Sundell And our name means "rebel" in Hebrew ;)
that wasnt me... because i was dead tired... so it must have been you.... like something i said had you lit like a bulb....>>>
But Now.... I Am*... Thanks Brandi ♫*...❤️☼!!
Hang on, just hang on for a minute
I've got something to say
I'm not asking you to move on or forget it
But these are better days
To be wrong all along and admit is not amazing grace
But to be loved like a song you remember
Even when you've changed
Tell me did I go on a tangent?
Did I lie through my teeth?
Did I cause you to stumble on your feet?
Did I bring shame on my family?
Did it show when I was weak?
Whatever you see, that wasn't me
That wasn't me, that wasn't me
When you're lost you will toss every lucky coin you'll ever trust
And you'll hide from your god like he never turns his back on us
And you'll fall all the way to the bottom and land on your own knife
And you'll learn who you are even if it doesn't take your life
Tell me did I go on a tangent?
Did I lie through my teeth?
Did I cause you to stumble on your feet?
Did I bring shame on my family?
Did it show when I was weak?
Whatever you see, that wasn't me
That wasn't me, that wasn't me
But I want you to know that you'll never be alone
I wanna believe do I make myself a blessing to everyone I meet
When you fall I will get you on your feet
Do I spend time with my family?
Did it show when I was weak?
When that's what you see, that will be me
That will be me, that will be me
That will be me
These lyrics have been embedded in my brain I swear from the first time I heard this song but thank you for sharing them for all who don't know them and the power behind them
OMG really amazing uploads you have on your page. I will be back! ..but first time to make a little music. ❤️😊💚🥇😍
My Grandfather loved music so much, and while he was living with us he called me to his room and played this song for me because he thought I would like it. I liked it then and I really love it now. Not long after he shared this song with me he passed away and tomorrow it will be 4 years, I miss him with all of my heart and think of him every time I hear this song <3
Abdulrezak7bin tassak
Today is my 12 year anniversary. Thank God.
Did kris right this song?
Brandi wrote it.
I swear she is re-writing the way music should be played
I love you. <3
Id been clean about 2 yrs before I heard this song on NPR. This song helped me heal. Life is good now because that wasn't me. This is me now. Present and available to my fellow man.
Tell the bipolar person how addiction is a damn disease, please. Congrats being clean is the hardest thing you can do, but 2years you must have several chips. Treasure them as you do being so proud you're clean. Thanks for sharing I really appreciate it.just when I wanted to forget about life you posted this.
God loves you! He always finds a way to reach us and help us. Im glad this song touched you.
Good on you. Life is hard, sometimes it's just nice to hear about people rising above 😊👍
Larry Proctor hoping it’s 3 much love
Angelic Voice and Music, Thank You
beautiful song. hit me right at my heart.
* ♥ love you ♥ Brandi C. ..!
Got to see her perform this live in concert. Sends a shiver down my spine!
HORRIBLE SPOKESMEN
Hello my dear friends, real music has no audience. I can't get enough of this song
bear creek is my favorite album all the time
This song is so beautiful, so many applications . Dolly's cover of the Story led me here. So glad I discovered Brandi. As a bipolar individual who has stayed healthy the last 7 years , When I think of the last manic episode of 2010 when I nearly lost it all. And put my family through a living hell beyond my control . This song is a beautiful way to think of what after the dust settled I could never have put into words
I LOVE Brandie Carlie she's the best singer guitar player ever!!!!
Stumbled upon this song - late to the game in hearing this artist. Reminds me of the first time I heard Amy Winehouse and Rehab. Actually, when I heard that song I immediately knew that she was genius, incredible writer, incredible voice, and a song perfect to the bone. This song took me a time or two to hear and listen to the words, but again a lucidly and truth uncommon in songwriting. Every once in awhile, once in a blue moon maybe? you hear a song that captures you and powerful experiences you have encountered in life. Where does such a young person come up with so much soul? Add Kris Kristofferson to the mix, one of the great songwriters of all time. Talk about the IQ of a man or woman, then if there is one for writing then these three are/were beyond Einstein. One more thing, Brandi's voice is like heaven.
I love that voice
without any doubt that is one of the five greatest songs I've ever heard in my life.
I'm getting released from prison in 45 days and artist songs helped a lot.
We only have one shot at life. Stay positive!!
Shane Mulvihill Shane here hoping you are doing real good, my brother is such, for jury trial on Aug 5 and 6, he was all messed up on who knows what and he stabbed a young man in the back 4 times, he waited till he went into a bath room stall, the man he stabbed happened to be at the bar with his brothers they beat my brother bad, then hr stayed on the lamb for 7 years, well they caught him, I am his sister and I will always love him and be there for him., I hope you have people like that in your life, much love. Worried Sister.
GPapas I have had several shots at life, one in particular was my life saving liver transplant on 9-10-11. Because I tried to have babies in the early 80, Red Cross gave me 9 units of contaminated blood. Life goes on and people are good, oh my I lived to see a grand baby boy born.
You see I had another shot at life, because I could not get pregnant, my physician helped me find a birth mother, this was 31 years ago. Life is hard but the struggle is worth it.
Shane Mulvihill I see it’s been 2 years since you posted, sending you love and peace, hoping life is good for you on this beautiful Sunday morning. Mountain woman Norma
How many times have you've been gone back?? It's a damn revolving door and it suxs. Sorry brother..

I don't understand what the video means. Can someone explain it to me?
This video hurts my heart.
So good 🎨✌️🙏
Great song!
a beautiful debut to our general public
This gal is talented.
Sammy the dog
wow. first time listener. what a voice
She is amazing. Go find the FB page Oh Brandi Carlile, How I Love Thee.
You should see her live. I have seen her in concert 3 times and it is always amazing. Catch her at Red Rocks if you can. It is her favorite venue and she puts on an even more amazing show there!
Jessica Garrison you think this is amazing? Check out The Story by her
She is amazing!!!
wanted to see this talented lady this year, unfortunately it was canceled, she had to undergo a surgery. hope she's doing better, look forward to next time brandi :)
Made me cry.. amazing song ...
One of the most beautiful songs I've heard in my whole life...
I love this song;!;!👍
Brandi Carlile you are a true artist. Thanks for your music :)
I absolutely love every piece of music this woman is a part of. Her voice is one of the most beautiful I have ever witnessed.
Isnt she his daughter?
My god...love this girl...
I just discovered her recently on youtube, and I just can't get enough of hearing her voice. I just love her voice! It is unique, and yet also puts me a little in mind of Lacy J. Dalton of 70's country who also had a unique and great voice.
I also just stumbled across her amazing talent. I sure hope she comes to Halifax. She has quickly become one of my favorite artists!
This Lady is bloody incredible - she traverses the full stylistic spectrum effortlessly and with totally reasonable self-assurance.
Every song is something new....and That is truly something new.... ;-)
Kris Kristofferson. ugh. soooooo good.
This song is heartbreaking to anyone who has been an addict or who knows someone suffering addiction. Just tears your heart out. Brandi Carlile does not get the recognition she deserves, she is a true talent.
Just wanted to add on here that she’s FINALLY getting a fraction of the recognition she deserves. Congrats to her and the band for the 3 Grammy’s this week
I concur. With one exception. She does get the recognition she deserves. Just because she's not on American idol or all over mags,says alot about her. She's exactly where she's suspose to be.And she's not the songwriter people think she is. She's a singer. And writes some.But some of her deeper songs are written by the twins.But this song is the very 1st song I heard from her in 2012. I'd never heard of her,I got lucky listening to Patty Griffin on Pandora and this song came on.And I had to get it from Google play.And it spoke to me.And my past +my ruined relationship between me and my brother.And from then on.I seemed to find the best song's from her collection.And when I heard the story,I was blown away.But I just found out,she didn't write either one.But it's ok. She's still #3 on my singer-songwriters&will remain there wheather she wrote it or not.I love that she admitted she was add and a high school drop out like me.And that she's human,nothing more, nothing less. She's made an impact on the right people&for different reasons.👍✌
Pamela Woodward just want to point out that the name of the band is Brandi Carlile, so yes Brandi Carlile did write those songs. It’s what they named the band way back when and it stuck and it was too late to change it because they were becoming known by that. She has regretted the band being named after her and will be the first to point that out and give the twins credit. Just one more reason to love Brandi.
@Jay K And we definitely should send all of those violent and non-violent criminals straight to your house instead of prison. I'd give my life to see you enjoying the fruits of living around several thousand felons for the one day that you remained alive around them. Jackass.
She has finally been getting the much deserved respect.
amazing singer
What a voice! Well done Brandi
It's a real compliment to Brandi Carlile that Kris Kristofferson wanted to be a part of this.
Or, I wonder if it's visa versa... I saw Chris 5 years prior to this video looking less than good... In his work with Brandi (this & other vids) Kris is looking rejuvenated...
Phil Savage True.
Absolutely. I'd think that for a songwriter in this genre, having Kristofferson's respect is about as high as praise gets.
Holy Hell. Don't feel bound to that which does not seek to bind you. Find your new normal. He was more at home in prison, behind those bars than he was made to feel out in the real world. Such a shame and senseless waste. It is the way life unfolds for those that stumble, fall, and then try to re-build. They would just as soon stay within the locked down confines of their self. No risking failure there. Sabrina ~
... amazing ...
beautiful
Just a Brandi Carlile looking for my twins.
I would have given him the dollar
its me!
So beautiful <3
One of my Favorites!!!!!
I´ve just discovered this song and video. Just amazing.
wasnt me
