The Man That You Know

Mother once said should’ve just gone to bed, but I didn’t listen
The days rolled on, all I had was a song, to write, that I’m not forgiven
You were told
The love you hold
The ones you see
Ain’t gonna leave
Don’t love me
Don’t love me
Don’t you let your guard down
Don’t you turn this around
And don’t love me
Brother so wise, seems you’re right all the time, but I couldn’t keep up
The years went by, and time after time, you were to speak of
You were told
The love you hold
The ones you see
Ain’t gonna leave
Don’t love me
Don’t love me
Don’t you let your guard down
Don’t you turn this around
And don’t love me
And I was a fool to leave
And I was a fool to go
And I was a fool to be
The man that you know
The man that you know
Don’t you love me anymore
Don’t you love me anymore
Don’t you love me anymore
Don’t you love me anymore
And you don’t have to know what I’ve done
Or the man that I’ve become
I’m not proud of these things that I’ve seen
But I can’t seem to shake what makes me free
Yeah, I’ve walked all alone with these memories of home
In the back of my head, all the thoughts that I dread
Wondering why I couldn’t see what was meant for me
Wondering why I couldn’t be what was meant for me
‘Cause I’m crying out
Yeah, I’m crying out
Yeah, I’m trying now
I’m not lying now
