Good Man

The night is heavy

And it fills the bar

And the talk is loud

As you tell me who you are

I hear your voice

As I meet my own eyes

In the barroom mirror

I find that I'm crying

'Cause the Good man that I knew

I no longer find in you

And it's not for lack of want

But knowing you'll never be true

Had I listened before

Maybe I would have seen

The man I wanted

You never have been

From the start, blinded

By my own ways

And now the cost of loving you

Is the price that I must pay

'Cause the Good man that I knew

I no longer find in you

And it's not for lack of want

But knowing you'll never be true

A woman takes my hand

Asks me why do we accept

Less than we deserve

As if it's all that we have left

And another singing

From across the bar

Says he'll do what he wants

Until it goes too far

'Cause the Good man that I knew

I no longer find in you

And it's not for lack of want

But knowing you'll never be true

No it's not for lack of want

But knowing you'll never be true
