[Verse 1]
I got version of myself in my head
Of what I’m meant to be
And when I lay beside you in this bed
I won’t give you no reason not to believe
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t look at me like I’m a good man honey
That’s too much pressure for me
The only thing that I can promise to ya
Is I’m trying to be the man that you see
[Chorus]
But I’m not feeling like a good man
These thoughts come and go
So I don’t let you know
That I’m not feeling like a good man
Tell myself I got too much to lose
I could never do that to you
I’m just trying to be a good man
I’m just trying to be a good man
[Verse 2]
She got a way about her that can change ya
Like what you say, what you do
She got me tempted
I know I can’t blame her
'Cause she don’t even have a clue
[Pre-Chorus]
You look at me like I’m a good man honey
You see the best in me
The only thing that I can promise to ya
Is I’m trying to be the man that you see
[Chorus]
But I’m not feeling like a good man
These thoughts come and go
So I don’t let you know
That I’m not feeling like a good man
Tell myself I got too much to lose
I could never do that to you
I’m just trying to be a good man
I’m just trying to be a good man
[Bridge]
It’s only human
To feel this way
And I’m fearing what’s inside of me
But can we stay the same?
Can I come over?
Then maybe I could stay?
No I can’t do it
No, I’m only human
[Chorus]
I’m not feeling like a good man
These thoughts come and go
So I don’t let you know
That I’m not feeling like a good man
Tell myself I got too much to lose
I could never do that
But I’m not feeling like a good man
These thoughts come and go
So I don’t let you know
That I’m not feeling like a good man
Tell myself I got too much to lose
I could never do that to you
I’m just trying to be a good man
I’m just trying to be a good man
I’m just trying to be a good man

A May 2020 NME article quotes James saying:
I was feeling creatively exhausted and all out of ideas. [A]ll I had was the opening guitar riff… sitting in a granny flat in downtown LA with Nat, who is so creative and warm, we were able to bounce off each other’s shared ideas and experiences to build...
