A letra:
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
So easy
just to say
That everything is just the way it seems
You look up at me
And somewhere in
your mind, you see
A man I'll never be
If only I could find a way
I'd feel
like I'm the man you believe I am
It's getting harder every day
for me
To hide behind this dream you see
A man I'll never be
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
You look up at me
And somewhere in
your mind, you see
A man I'll never be
If only I could find a way
I'd feel
like I'm the man you believe I am
And it gets harder every day for
me
To hide behind this dream you see
A man I'll never be
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
You look up at
me
And somewhere in your mind, you still see
A man I'll never
be
If only I could find a way
I'd feel
like I'm the man you believe I am
And it gets harder every day for
me
I can't keep hidin' this feeling
