Lyrics
The man you used to love
I never thought I'd get this close
to losin' what I love the most
I have stepped across the line
have I stepped back across in time
I don't want to be the man you used to love
the man who made you cry
the man who let you down
who never recognized
the precious thing he had found
until he'd turned into the memory of
the man you used to love
If you decide to walk away
there's nothing more for me to say
I'll be some half forgotten name
with no one but myself to blame
I don't want to be the man you used to love
the man who made you cry
the man who let you down
who never recognized
the precious thing he had found
until he'd turned into the memory of
the man you used to love
there is no excuse
there is just regret
easy to remember
and so hard to forget
I have seen a blinding light
it gave me back the gift of sight
give me one more chance to be
the man that your eyes used to see
I don't want to be the man you used to love
the man who made you cry
the man who let you down
who never recognized
the precious thing he had found
until he'd turned into the memory of
the man you used to love
