The Man I Am

written by Jake Stilson

Remember when you used to love me?  

You wide-eyed loving gaze upon me

Now I just sit and stare out the window 

At the street lights 

There was no one you’d put above me 

You used to turtledove me 

Now I’m drowning in the liquor every night 

Well, I’ve been low before dear 

And I may be real down again 

But I don’t believe I’ve ever been this empty within 

I miss the way you used to hold me 

Even the way you used to scold me

And I’m trying to change 

I swear I am 

Well, I’ve been low before dear 

And I may be real down again 

But I don’t believe I’ve ever been this empty within 

I miss the way you used to hold me 

Even the way you used to scold me

And I’m trying to change 

I swear I am
