I am that man You're trying to find You had in mind And I'll give you all my love 'Till you understand I won't give up 'Cause I know You put your heart up on a shelf I know it's hard to be by yourself

When you take me there It’s alive, It’s alive All that I've got to be thankful for When I see it through your eyes Now I understand your lives You show me the city I see it through your eyes We drive through the city

The feelings I once felt are now dead and gone I've waited here for you for so very long I’ve waited here for you, so long Erase what was Stillborn, I have become Just a shell of a man Stillborn, this I understand

You made me Everything that I am You called me names 'till I became a name Now that's all that I understand Now the joke's on you 'cause the whole damn world's at the palm of the fool's hand Now the fool's got to choose And the joker's in the smoker with

Don't come down, things will always work out So when you find yourself in tears As a child I was foul Ma, I couldn't understand them things that came out your mouth (Daddy's ain't shit!) You would fuss, cuss till your blood pressure was up Then give up

Change in the air And they'll hide everywhere And no one knows who's in control Repress and restrain Still the pressure and the pain Wash the blood off your hands This time she won't understand You're working so hard And you're never in charge

This isn't me, This isn't you, When it's just everything we do. Till you open up your eyes, And understand this isn't real. This is everything but true, Till we come to realize, It's what we put each other through.

I gotta make you see You tell me that you're leaving And I'm trying to understand I had myself believing I could take it like a man But if you gotta go, then you gotta know That it's killing me And all the things I never seem to show Girl it's been so

To fuck with nobody else You ain't allowed 'Cause what we got right here Ain't nobody gonna understand, no no But you still ain't allowed Got that exclusive for you Ain't nothing conclusive 'round here 'Cause you know I got you right where you need to be
