Lyrics

I don't want to be your reason.
I'll be the man who wasn't there.
A man who drowns in hand-me downs,
Used goods, I just don't care.
Stand in the doorway,
Stand in the way, I just won't go,
You can stay in yesterday and I'll lead you to tomorrow.

I'll be the man who wasn't there,
The man who wasn't there.


Well tell a tale of twisted truth,
Dark streets wait if you dare,
Passing lights in endless nights,
But woman they have no flare.
I don't want to be your lover,
I don't want to be your man,
You can climb on heart-strings so fine,
And break them if you dare.

I'll be the man who wasn't there,
The man who wasn't there.


Save me,
Save me,
I drowned in the sound of the heartbeat I found,
A single beat could break the key,
I found in the sound I could swim, but I drowned,
I could lie but that's just not me.
I don't want to be your reason,
And you don't want to be my rhyme,
Oil and water don't mix they they oughtta,
And sometimes that works out fine.

I'll be the man who wasn't there,
The man who wasn't there,
I'll be the man who wasn't there,
The man who wasn't there.
