[Verse 1]
If I said what's on my mind
You'd turn and walk away
Disappearing way back in your dreams
It's so hard to be unkind
It's so easy just to say
That everything is just the way it seems
[Pre-Chorus]
You look up at me
And somewhere in your mind, you see
A man I'll never be
[Chorus]
If only I could find a way
I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am
And it's getting harder every day for me
To hide behind this dream you see
A man I'll never be
[Verse 2]
I can't get any stronger
And I can't climb any higher
You'll never know just how hard I've tried
Cry a little longer
And hold a little tighter
Emotions can't be satisfied
[Pre-Chorus]
You look up at me
And somewhere in your mind, you see
A man I'll never be
[Chorus]
If only I could find a way
I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am
And it's getting harder every day for me
To hide behind this dream you see
A man I'll never be
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
I can't get any stronger
I can't climb any higher
You'll never know just how hard I've tried
Cry a little longer
And hold a little tighter
Emotions can't be satisfied
[Pre-Chorus]
No, you look up at me
And somewhere in your mind, you still see
A man I'll never be
[Chorus]
If only I could find a way
I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am
And it's getting harder every day for me
[Outro]
I can't keep hiding this feeling
