A Man I'll Never Be

If I said what's on my mind

You'd turn and walk away

Disappearing way back in your dreams

It's so hard to be unkind

So easy just to say

That everything is just the way it seems

You look up at me

And somewhere in your mind you see

A man I'll never be

If only I could find a way

I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am

It's getting harder every day for me

To hide behind this dream you see

A man I'll never be

I can't get any stronger

And I can't climb any higher

You'll never know just how hard I've tried

Cry a little longer

And hold a little tighter

Emotions can't be satisfied

You look up at me

And somewhere in your mind you see

A man I'll never be

If only I could find a way

I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am

And it gets harder every day for me

To hide behind this dream you see

A man I'll never be

Can't get any stronger

And I can't climb any higher

You'll never know just how hard I've tried

Cry a little longer

And hold a little tighter

Emotions can't be satisfied

Oh, you look up at me

And somewhere in your mind you still see

A man I'll never be, oh

If only I could find a way

I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am

And it gets harder every day for me

I can't keep hiding this feeling
