Riding in the back with my shades slammed down
I had to leave my home before I drowned
I never thought that I'd ever be this way
I never thought that I'd ever run away
I don't wanna be that man, that you claim
So, I've gotta be that man, the man you blame
Ashes of laughter flow from town to town
I never really know if I'm breaking down
You always told me that it's not our time
I guess loving you was my only crime
I don't wanna be that man, that you claim
So, I've gotta be that man, the man you blame
One of these days I wont have to bear this weight
One of these days everything will be okay
For it's over now and there's no turning back
I left you with my heart intact
I don't wanna be that man, that you claim
So, I've gotta be that man, the man you blame
