Pretend you're a man

pretend that for once you're made of something.

try as hard as you can

but just like before you've got nothing

and as it begins you're floating through the room so slowly

your breathing is thin

like at a ship at sea that's lost its meaning

as you curse the wind

oh its in vain your still not moving

your heart needs to mend

but you can't see just what you're choosing


without regret we're living free

but we've done things no one else has seen

we're living like we've got everything

but make believe in the finer things


the pen and the paper

the thoughts that have been swirling through my head

the over acheiver

for once i am left with nothing to be said

this all began

with a little mishap trying to pretend

i'm more than i am.

i'm more than i am

i'm more than just a man


i'm sorry for the distance

i've made mistakes before

i'm sorry for the distance

i know you wanted more

between the time that i'm gone

i know i'll change so much

and when i hurry home

i'll make sure you've had enough
