A Man Like Me

Innocent eyes look into mine

Baby, I see that you're falling up

It's gonna hurt when I let you down

It's not that I like to leave when it's right

But over and over again

I've only seen love that ends

Before you get too hurt

May I do it first?

I tried to warn you, I begged you to leave

But you tried to fix me, oh, don't be naive

You wanted somebody that I'll never be

But that's what you get

When your heart's in the hands of a man like me

Your tears hit the floor, like many before

From strangers to lovers to enemies

I wish that I could be your remedy

I hate to say, "I told you so"

I'm not the type to get too close

I hope you learned your lesson

But you are no exception

Before you get too hurt

May I do it worse?

(You know I'll do it worse)

I tried to warn you, I begged you to leave

But you tried to fix me, oh, don't be naive

You wanted somebody that I'll never be

But that's what you get

When your heart's in the hands of a man like me

In the hands of a man like me

In the hands of a man like me
