I Can't Be The Man I Wanna Be My Hyde
Its been nearly a year now
Since I last saw you with my eyes open
And I really don’t understand how
But you still remain under my skin
Your ghost stays with me
Every moment stays in my head
So I’m trapped in your memory
Still hanging on to every word you ever said
I’m sorry I had to go and lie to you
Sorry that I was afraid to tell you the truth
And I’m sorry I lied—
When I told you goodbye
I lied to myself when I said I could let you go
It never goes away—just keeps burrowing deeper into my core
I just don’t have the strength to fight myself anymore
So I have to let you know…
I can’t be the man I wanna be
‘Cause I’m all hollow inside
I’m missing the other half of me
And It leaves a empty space behind my eyes
I can’t be the man I wanna be
And I’m so sick of the emptiness
I’m sick of missing such a big part of me
And I’m sick of faking happiness
I can’t be the man I wanna be
Since I’ve done and seen your face
Behind your eyes I’ve seen what goes in my inner space
It’s more than your face that haunts my dreams
I’ve seen your soul, girl—and it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen…
Its been two years
Since I first laid eyes on you
And I fought your pull with my fears
Knowing that it couldn’t be true
I drug my heart through a year in hell
Trying to fight the calling
‘Till it became the monstrous toiling of a bell
And I felt myself falling
And now I’m still fighting, if only your memory
Your ghost is always there, reminding me of who I should be
In vivid thoughts of you, my body is left behind
I slip away to be near you in my mind
I’m too full of doubt to tell you myself
But this might be my last chance in this life
So I can’t let it pass by
That’s why I came to you as somebody else…
I can’t be the man I wanna be
‘Cause I’m all hollow inside
I’m missing the other half of me
And It leaves a empty space behind my eyes
I can’t be the man I wanna be
And I’m so sick of the emptiness
I’m sick of missing such a big part of me
And I’m sick of faking happiness
I can’t be the man I wanna be
Since I’ve done and seen your face
Behind your eyes I’ve seen what goes in my inner space
So I’m laying what little pride I have at your feet
On the chance I could ever make you love me
It’s more than your face that haunts my dreams
I’ve seen your soul, girl—and it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen…
I wish I could’ve been there for you
When you were growing up as a kid
And all the hell you’ve been through
Should’ve never happened the way it did
I wonder how you kept from going insane
I wish It could’ve been me
That I could’ve taken all that pain
And you could’ve had my loving family
I swear to the God that made you that this is how I feel
I would never say this if it wasn’t real
‘Cause you’ve heard so many that weren’t meant
And I know sometimes your heart feels spent
I’d give anything to make your life the way it should be
And I’d do my best to have the nerve
To be the kinda man you deserve
If you could ever love me…
I can’t be the man I wanna be
‘Cause I’m all hollow inside
I’m missing the other half of me
And It leaves a empty space behind my eyes
I can’t be the man I wanna be
And I’m so sick of the emptiness
I’m sick of missing such a big part of me
And I’m sick of faking happiness
I can’t be the man I wanna be
Since I’ve done and seen your face
Behind your eyes I’ve seen what goes in my inner space
So I’m laying what little pride I have at your feet
On the chance I could ever make you love me
It’s more than your face that haunts my dreams
I’ve seen your soul, girl—and it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen…
Its been nearly a year now
Since I last saw you with my eyes open…

"Please Help Me! Is this good enough?" -- My Hyde.
"Quit begging like a little kid. Actually it's...it's...it's.... not very good. First stanza - "Every moment stays in my head...so I'm trapped in your memory." Don't you mean, I'm trapped WITH your memory or you're trapped in MY memory. Overall, kind of corny. Your best line is in the third stanza, fourth line down.... "and it leaves an empty space behind my eyes." You got that right!" -- Richard.
