Just a man

'I'm just a man'

That's what you say, oh when you lie to me

But you're half of it

That's the part that I can see

 

How can you wake up

With that weight you carry on your back?

You say “It's okey, no worries”

Then another heart attack

 

You know me well, it's not a lie

So why are you running away from my side?

 

Why, oh why this selfishness?

Show me mercy, please, show me regret

You’d better keep your mouth shut, block that twisted mind

You should know that you’re a psychopath

 

Excuse me sir: are we over now?

You look so sweet but you drag me down

 

What is it you see each day?

When you look into the mirror’s face?

Why is it I see a different side of you,

Images I wish I could erase?

 

You say you're just a man – just a simple man

Wondering what to do with life – oh

You wrote a song where you say you're selfish, cold as ice – cold as ice

and that's the easiest way to not face reality as it is – uh

So why is it that bad to love? – love

You've got the proof: i'm still into you...

 

--- Instrumental break ---

 

What is it you see each day

When you look into the mirror’s face?

Nothing fancy’s ever coming back to you

Cannot wait to meet the one to take my place

 

Excuse me sir: are we over now?

Should I give up or freak you out?
