I cannot pretend that I'm surprised by the way
I bled my incompetencies all over this place
Well I thought I was ready and I thought I knew
How to overcome myself to get close to you
Tell me now how does it feel to be
Wanted so badly by somebody like me
I guess it's nothing 'cause I couldn't make you see
I'm not the kind to let you know
'Cause it's so hard to be so exposed
That's why it's him beside you in your bed
'Cause I'm not a man
Drive out of the city and into the burbs
And pity myself for not driving with her
The sun bears down like a funeral pyre
The only thing hotter is my burning desire
Tell me now was there ever a time
When you dreamt of your eyes locked with mine
Did it ever start to eat you up inside
I'm not the kind to let you know
'Cause it's so hard to be so exposed
That's why it's him beside you in your bed
'Cause I'm not a man
Should I just guess the things you'll never say
Should I read your mind when you're looking my way
Or is this just another hopeless losing game
I'm not the kind to let you know
'Cause it's so hard to be so exposed
That's why it's him beside you in your bed
'Cause I'm not a man at least not yet
