Silence often surrounds you and it just feels the same
I think maybe somehow I might've lost you along the way
And these broken allocations that shine upon suspicions that never greet you
And these hearts that never fall for anyone at all, they always seem to disappoint you
I didn't come here to try to enlighten you
Didn't come here to try to understand you
And these allegations crawl under a sky of blue
Cuz sometimes you never know what's the truth
Your whispering eyes are calling from tongues that are lying to you
And even I don't understand why they would say that or what it matters now to you
Well I broke down and I thought that maybe I could handle you.
But there's no sense in trying, no sense in falling, and no sense in any of this
Maybe baby you might understand why I am the way I am
Maybe not but I'm just a man
Maybe baby you might understand why I am the way I am
Maybe not but I'm just a man
Fading lights they call me from a horizon I never thought I'd comprehend
Silent songs they call me from places that even I don't understand
I'm at mercy at their feet, I can hardly ever sleep, it's like I'm crazy
And I don't want to see anything anymore except maybe you and me
Maybe baby you understand why I am the way I am
Maybe not cuz I'm just a man
Maybe baby you understand why I am the way I am
Or maybe not well I'm just a man
And I wonder where you're from and I often wonder what it'd be like to be beside you
So we just talk about the sun and fade off in its light like we feel like something new
Sorry baby if I'm not the right one that can shine for you
Sorry baby that I am ... that I am just... just a man
DRAFT: Lyrics I had in the studio
Silence often surrounds you and it all just feels the same
I think maybe somehow I might've lost you along the way
These broken allocations that shine upon suspicions that never greet you
These hearts that never fall for anyone at all, they disappoint you
I didn't come here to try to enlighten or understand you
These allegations crawl under a sky that never falls far from the truth
I didn't come here to disappoint you
Your whispering eyes are calling from the tongue that is lying by you
I didn't come here to disappoint you my dear,
I don't even understand why you would say that
I didn't come here to entertain you my dear
So please try and understand that
I broke down and I thought that maybe I could handle you
There's no sense in trying, no sense in failing, no sense in any of this
And maybe baby you might understand why I am the way I am
Fading lights they call me from a horizon I never thought I'd understand
Silent songs they call me from places that I know I'll never understand
I'm at mercy at their feet, I can hardly ever sleep, it's like I'm crazy
And silence doesn't want to disappoint
And silence doesn't want to disappoint... you any more than I do
I wonder where you're from and I often wonder what it'd be like to be beside you
So we just talk about the sun and fade off in it's distant light
Sorry baby if I'm not the right one that can shine down on your land
Sorry baby that I am just... I am just... just a man
