Manuel Gaudêncio - I'm Not That Man Lyrics

I used to watch underline your notes
The glamouring colors
Drawn with perfect strokes

Behind your curtain of hair
Way past my pain and despair
Your heart grew tired of my love, of my greed and my stare

I never loved you in a selfish way
Maybe I loved you too much
But I just wanted you to stay

All the lies that I told expecting it to free us from the pain
Now thinking it destroyed you and me
In ways I cannot explain

So how could I lie about love
How could I sit in front of you
And deny the only thing that could rise us above

I should have told you I love you
Should have shown my despair
You deserve only the truth
And I know that lies never take us anywhere

The endless nights by the river
The cold that made me shiver
And the first rays of sunlight in your skin
All the riddles, the small fights
And the laughs that we would dig
Oh this lost love, I'd die to see it live

I know there's no excuse for me
But I swear I'm not the man I used to be
And the difference between that twisted mind and myself is all I want you to see

But there you stand tall
Behind an unbreakable wall
A palace so big and I can't even make it through the front door

Girl I just want you well
For this to ring a bell
To see you wild free and dancing again in your very own spell

And I'd ask to dance with you
Show you my love is true
Hadn't I broken your heart
Hadn't I given you hell

The endless nights by the river
The cold that made me shiver
And the first rays of sunlight in your skin
All the riddles, the small fights
And the laughs that we would dig
Oh this lost love, I'd die to see it live

The endless nights by the river
The cold that made me shiver
And the first rays of sunlight in your skin
All the riddles, the small fights
And the laughs that we would dig
Oh this lost love, a lost love, I would die to see it live
