I am a sorry man   trapped between who I am   and who I could be   The man you want to see   The man within your dreams   But I am not your fantasy      There's a secret I hold secure   and it's getting darker by the hour   And now there's not enough man left in me   to fulfill any of your dreams      I'm breaking down   My mind crumbles to the ground   in pieces too small to see   that you did this to me   I don't want you to see what I am   I am a drowning man      I don't feel human   My soul's been shattered   and I'm feeling battered   Because deep in my heart   there is a place that bleeds   where your name is engraved   and only you can see      All reality drains out   and I blink back into place   Just now realizing   exactly what this means      I'm breaking down   My soul shattered on the ground   in pieces too small to see   that you did this to me   I don't want you to know what I am   I am a drowning man      I need to wash my hands   I'm going to feel your pain   I hear your siren call   I see your eyes staring back at me      I'm breaking down   My life lies dead on the ground   in pieces too small to see   that you did this to me   I don't want you to become what I am   I am a drowning man
