Not The Man lyrics

There are so many questions,
there are so many doubts -
this is auto-suggestion
your spirit is giving out.
If I offered my reasons
would you give me a break?
Now it`s all open season,
no sense of quit and take.

You see I`m not the man I was....

But of I`m not the man
that you took me to be
do I fade from your dreams,
disappear from your memory?
Look at me:
if I`m not the man I was
then who was he?

There can be no returning
to the scene of the crime...
For perfection you`re yearning:
some romance, some foreign chime!
Is the memory explicit
under strict rule of thumb?
It was always implicit,
this character I`ve become.

But if I`m not the man
that you took me to be
do I fade from your dreams,
disappear from your memory?
I remember it well,
I can guess what went wrong...
you believe all these words
in the popular songs...
but if I`m not the man
that you took me to be,
did I walk in your dreams?
I`ve no idea who that person could be.

Look at me:
if I`m not the man I was
then who is he
