If I said what's on my mind   You'd turn and walk away   Disappearing way back in your dreams      It's so hard to be unkind   So easy just to say   That everything is just the way it seems      You look up at me   And somewhere in your mind you see   A man I'll never be      If only I could find a way   I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am   And it gets harder every day for me   To hide behind this dream you see   A man I'll never be      I can't get any stronger   I can't climb any higher   You'll never know just how hard I've tried      Cry a little longer   And hold a little tighter   Emotions can't be satisfied      You look up at me   And somewhere in your mind you see   A man I'll never be      If only I could find a way   I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am   And it gets harder every day for me   To hide behind this dream you see   A man I'll never be
