The Man I Want To Be

(专辑： Revolution Come... Revolution Go - 2017)

I'm here today
Because there's some things I want to get off my chest
Some things I'm just starting to realize
They say as we get older we get wiser and I
I don't know if that's true
But I know a fog's been lifted from my eyes

You see it seems sometimes when someone wins
That someone has to lose
And I'm afraid I've been the winner too much
But when it comes to me and you, baby
Oh you've always been there
There were times when I was gone
And you needed my touch

But you know I love you, I know you do
So tell me you never gave up on me
I can be everything those people see, everything
But I can't be the man I want to be

I refuse to listen, baby
When you tried to tell me so many times
I was headed down a wrong-way street
I got this one-way ticket, baby
I think I might have to cash it in
Maybe coming home would be the best thing for me

You see I don't want to lose you
And if I do, nobody wins
Well I know it's up to me to make it right this time
So give me one more chance, baby
I swear I won't let you down
Take my hand, let me say what's on my mind

I'm here today
Because there's so many things I want to say
Some things I finally realized
They say absence makes the heart grow fonder
I don't know if that's really true
But I know I dried a thousand tears from my eyes

And you know I love you, I know you do
So tell me you never gave up on me
I can be everything those people see, everything
But I can't be the man I want to be

Oh
Oh, I hear you, baby
Oh, yeah

You know I love you, I know you do
So tell me you never gave up on me
I can be everything those people see, everything
But I can't be the man I want to be

Oh
I can't be the man I want to be
I can't be the man I want to be
I can't be the man I want to be
I can't be the man I want to be
Tell me now

You know I love you, I know you do
So tell me you never gave up on me
