Not the Man

Black

Who was I for you 
What does it mean to be the one you want 
To get what you desire…the coin ,the splash of pearl 
And then the long goodbye 
And who knows why? 
Here comes the talking 
The settling,the recompense ,the frowning 
The owning and disowning of 
Remembering who we are now 

Who are we really? 
We make vows and then we change our minds 
If you still love me 
I wouldn’t know and I don’t care to guess at 
What we’ve got left 
Here comes the talking 
Slamming doors you then have to throw open 
For remembering 

Saying you’re sure you hem and you haw 
Like we were rivals 
Running away like we were all afraid of our shadows 

I am not the man that you want me to be 
I am not the one you want
