Man I'll Never Be

Oh you need the man I'll never be
I've tried and tried and tried
I've done everything but leave

Cancel our plans for the weekend
Hmm lay on the floor watch the ceiling
Holding our breath in the deep end
Avoiding the feeling, we know why

There was a time where we meant it
Every look spoke a sentence
Now we just smile, but sometimes out of tune

Oh you need the man I'll never be
I've tried and I've tried, I've tried
I've done everything but leave
Oh now every other word
Comes out bittersweet
And the thought of you with someone else is killing me
I give and give and give
Then I give up eventually
But you only need, the man I'll never be
Hmm

It's in my blood, in my nature
Maybe we're better off strangers
I guess I missed, I missed the train you're on

Oh you need the man I'll never be
I've tried and I've tried and tried
I've done everything but leave
Oh now every other word
Comes out bittersweet
And the thought of you with someone new, oh it's killing me

Oh you need, you need the man I'll never be
Oh I've tried, I've tried
I've done everything but leave
Hey oh
You know I've tried
Oh listen to me
