That Man is Me Lyrics

You walk in the bar

You'll see him there, staring at the ceiling

His back to the wall

You know that he's drinking his feelings

But it's useless to help him

They say he don't talk in the evenings

When the bar's full of couples and dancing

Oh that's when he's leaving

I wouldn't talk to him

He'll just say that he's fine

And he doesn't need no sympathy

And I wouldn't wanna hear

All the things that've been stuck in his mind for the last couple weeks

He's been sitting there thinking

Wasting his time trying to find a new way

To get himself some peace

I wouldn't talk to him

Trust my word and I'll give it for free

Cause that man is me

He's faking a smile

So you don't know what's under the surface

And he's been here a while

Just trying to find himself a purpose

And the way that he carries himself

You never would notice

When the bar's closing down

Oh that's when he starts to get nervous

I wouldn't talk to him

He'll just say that he's fine

And he doesn't need no sympathy

And I wouldn't wanna hear

All the things that've been stuck in his mind for the last couple weeks

He's been sitting there thinking

Wasting his time trying to find a new way

To get himself some peace

I wouldn't talk to him

Trust my word and I'll give it for free

Cause that man is me

That man is me
