Don’t Tell Her I’m Not

IT’S JUST ME AND THE STREET LIGHTS
A HALF A MILE FROM HOME
THERE’S A WOMAN WAITIN’ THERE THAT I LOVE SO MUCH
I CAN’T STAND BEIN’ GONE
AND I’VE BEEN AFRAID MORE TIMES THAN I CAN COUNT
THAT I’LL MESS UP AND DO A STUPID THING
AND SOMEHOW LET HER DOWN
CAUSE SHE LOVES ME
AND I DON’T’ KNOW WHY SHE DOES
BUT SHE LOVES ME
LORD I HOPE THAT I’M ENOUGH
DON’T LET HER SEE ME AS ANY LESS OF A MAN
THAN THE ONE SHE THINKS I AM
AND DON’T LET HER FIND OUT THAT I’M REALLY NOT SO STRONG
I’M TRYIN’ TO LOVE HER WITH ALL I’VE GOT
SHE THINKS I’M A HERO DON’T TELL HER I’M NOT
YEAH I SAID SOME THINGS
I WISH I’D NEVER SAID
NOW I’M DRIVING AROUND THINKIN’ OUT LOUD
TRYIN’ TO GET IT OFF MY CHEST
I COULDN’T STAND TO SEE THOSE TEARS
FALLIN’ DOWN HER PRETTY FACE
AND KNOWIN’ IT’S BECAUSE OF ME
MAKES ME FEEL SO ASHAMED
CAUSE SHE LOVES ME
OH AND I CAN’T FIGURE OUT
WHY SHE LOVES ME
WHAT’S SHE THINKIN’ OF ME NOW
DON’T LET HER SEE ME AS ANY LESS OF A MAN
THAN THE ONE SHE THINKS I AM
DON’T LET HER FIND OUT THAT I’M REALLY NOT SO STRONG
I’M TRYIN’ TO LOVE HER WITH ALL I’VE GOT
SHE THINKS I’M A HERO DON’T TELL HER I’M NOT
