I feel you, out on the street
I know you, and I know that you know me
I see you, don't know if you see me
I got you, and I know that you got me
I hurt you, when I was just 18
You took me, somewhere I'd never been
Never came back to the places that I knew
Out of the pitch black
Where the sky was always blue
If I am a weaker man, weaker man, weaker man
I can be a better man, better man, better man
You can help me
Please, please show me how to be
The man I know I am
The man I know I am
In the darkness, where I now the light will never shine
You come to me, to put the sun back in my eyes
You've got the spell changed, you can help me on my way
The feelings so strange
Coming back another day
If I am a weaker man, weaker man, weaker man
I can be a better man, better man, better man
You can help me
Please, please show me how to be
The man I know I am
The man I know I am
One day I'm gonna write a letter
Gonna give you all the world
And the feelings that I have inside
One day I'm gonna get a little better
Gonna give you all my life and my love
That I can not hide, yeah
If I am a weaker man, weaker man, weaker man
I can be a better man, better man, better man
Who can help me
Please, please show me how to be
The man I know I am
The man I know I am
The man I know I am
The man I know I am
The man I know I am
