The Man I Ought to Be

You know sometimes, I get a worried mind

And the words are hard to find

But you help me place them

You know sometimes things don't go as planned

And I wish I was a different man

Still you, hold onto me

Lord knows that I'm trying

To be just what you need

Lord knows that it kills me

Not that I'm not, the man I ought to be

If I take back the time

Take back all the tears you've cried

Well, I would, if I only could

Nothing in the world means more to me

Than knowing, that you'll always be

Right here, next to me

I know the clock is ticking,

And I'm living on borrowed time,

But girl I want you to know that deep down to my soul

I'm so glad that you're mine

I know one day the time might come

When I regret the things that I've done

But right now, it's not too late

I never meant to make you sad

You're the best thing that I've ever had

So please, hear me when I say

You know that I love you (yes, I do baby)

More than words can ever say

If you let it happen now darlin'

With you I'll forever stay
