Don't Tell Her I'm Not

It's just me and the street lights

A half a mile from home

There's a woman waitin' there that I love so much

I can't stand bein' gone

And I've been afraid more times than I can count

That I'll mess up and do a stupid thing

And somehow let her down

Cause she loves me

And I don't' know why she does

But she loves me

Lord I hope that I'm enough

Don't let her see me as any less of a man

Than the one she thinks I am

And don't let her find out that I'm really not so strong

I'm tryin' to love her with all I've got

She thinks I'm a hero don't tell her I'm not

Yeah I said some things

I wish I'd never said

Now I'm driving around thinkin' out loud

Tryin' to get it off my chest

I couldn't stand to see those tears

Fallin' down her pretty face

And knowin' it's because of me

Makes me feel so ashamed

Cause she loves me

Oh and I can't figure out

Why she loves me

What's she thinkin' of me now

Don't let her see me as any less of a man

Than the one she thinks I am

Don't let her find out that I'm really not so strong

I'm tryin' to love her with all I've got

She thinks I'm a hero don't tell her I'm not
