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

and 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


(instrumental)


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


(instrumental)

Can't get any stronger

and 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


Oh you look up at me
And somewhere in your mind you still 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
And it gets harder to see that
