The Man I Was

Now I might look familiar

but inside I'm not the same

and if you can't see beneath

you're not to blame

cause you've still the fear what i became

and i'm not denying

that you were flying

ah the man i was

he would have dragged you down

the man i was

he would have seized your crown

so all these years have taught me

there is always a second chance

its forgiveness that i seek

and not romance

im only stretching out these hands

cause when danger found you

with wild wolves around you

oh the man i was he would have gone to ground

you were in your tidal wave

with no mast or mainstay

and the man i was

he would have let you down

the man i was

he would have watched you drown

when darkness fell with storms around

the main i was just played the clown

where drinking in some bar in town

i was no tender stanger

no desert ranger

no sturdy farmer

no knight in armour

i played the clown

i pulled you down

i watched you drown

i seized your drown

the man i was

the man i was

its over now it breaks my heart because

the man you see is not the man I was
