I'm Not the Man She Thinks I Am

I’m not the only one who comes here looking

For a new perspective through this glass

But all I see is her home alone and cryin’

Over all the angry words I said

Two seats away there’s a brunette with tequila

Gonna mix it with some standard pickup line

She takes a shot and moves a little nearer

Smiles, and lets her sad brown eyes meet mine

But I’m not the man she thinks I am

I’m not sayin’ I’m not tempted

to blow it all, not give a damn

but there’s someone I’d be missing

It’s her ring I’m wearing on my hand

But I’m not the man she thinks I am

Often late at night I watch her dreaming

Another side of me she never sees

When I’m wide awake and scared about the future

And I don’t know who I’m supposed to be

I’m not the man she thinks I am

I’m no hero, I’m not perfect

Each day I give it all I can

And I wonder, is it all worth it

I know she thinks I’ve got a plan

But I’m not the man she thinks I am

I feel every heartbeat

I keep it all inside, don’t show weakness

She’ll never know how close I’ve come

To givin’ up, I keep trying

If I could make her understand

I’m not the man she thinks I am

But I keep tryin’ to be like him

If I could make her understand

When I’m losin’, I’m still fightin’

It’s her ring I’m wearing on my hand

But I’m not the man she thinks I am
