The Man I Was

Look at me in that photograph

Before we were ever us

Long before you found someone else

And broke our sacred trust

I hardly recognize myself

Sure has been a while

Amazing how much my life has changed

Since I've worn that smile

What happened to that smile?

There I am with my head held high

My step was quick and my eyes were bright

Back when I believed in love

And would lay my heart on the line

I don't know which hurts the worst

Losing you or having to see

The picture of the man I was

Before the fool you made of me

I've wasted time here missing you

Doubting who I am

I can't make you something you're not

But I can be me again

Oh deep down I know I can

There I am with my head held high

My step was quick and my eyes were bright

Back when I believed in love

And would lay my heart on the line

I don't know which hurts the worst

Losing you or having to see

The picture of the man I was

Before the fool you made of me

I want to be the man I was

Before the fool you made of me
