when i’m in trouble or out of step
if my balance has been upset
oh there’s a feeling i can’t accept
there’s one thing that helps me to forget
wonder what i’m thinking
wonder why i’m drinking
but it’s plain to see
i’m not the man i used to be
if life were easy and didn’t ask
didn’t tease me or take things back
i could start to understand
what makes me the man i am
wonder what i’m thinking
wonder why i’m drinking
but it’s plain to see
i’m not the man i used to be
oh it’s plain and it’s a shame
i’m not the man i used to be
i’ve lost dreams that won’t come back
memories fading fast
i should save the ones i have
what’s the use
most of them are bad
wonder what i’m thinking
wonder why i’m drinking
but it’s plain to see
i’m not the man i used to be
oh stay and it’s a shame
i can’t explain
but i’m not the man i used to be
it’s a shame don’t know my name
i can’t explain
i’m not the man i used to be
do you know my name
do you do you need me
but i’m not the man
