Lyrics
Man That I Am
Well I had thought that I knew every reason to cry
But I suppose that I was a fool
And I was sure that I had no reason to lie
But lately it seems I’m making new rules
And isn’t it rich isn’t it grand
The darkness that hides in the soul of a man
You struggle so hard, to fall back again
Well I never thought that I’d be, the man that I am
Now it would take an act of God just to open the door
That once would’ve opened with only a key
And you would need a bridge so strong it could hold the whole world
Just to carry the things that I’ve wasted back home to me
And isn’t it rich isn’t it grand
The darkness that hides in the soul of a man
You struggle so hard, to fall back again
Well I never thought that I’d be, the man that I am
The man that I am doesn’t see nothing but what he desires
And he’d rather live with the losses than put out the fires
And I have come to this place by the road that I paved
With the stones of a heart that I carried but left hidden away
And isn’t it rich isn’t it grand
The darkness that hides in the soul of a man
You struggle so hard, to fall back again
Well I never thought that I’d be, I never thought that I’d be
I never thought that I’d be, the man that I am
