All my pride and all my fears
 
 Have been there so long
 
 Funny how you try to change
 
 When you can't say you're wrong
 
 I could have done things better
 
 I wanted to but I'm always too late
 
  
  Borrowed lines from other guys
 
 To make me sound good
 
 Terrified to be myself
 
 When I know that I should
 
 I could have said things better
 
 I wanted to but I'm always too late
  
 
 I tried to be the man you need
 
 You know I did my best to give you everything
 
 I gave you every moment
 
 Every dream and all my love
 
 Which I thought was right
  
 
 I wish you could have loved me the way that I'm designed
 
 I wish you could have seen how hard I had to try
 
 To be somebody else in somebody else's eyes
 
 I wish you could have loved me they way that I'm designed
  
 
 False starts and lost hearts
 
 They follow me home
 
 Like a dog or a stranger
 
 That I feel sorry for
 
 I could have made things better
 
 I wanted to but I'm always too late
  
 
 I tried to be the man you need
 
 You know I did my best to give you everything
 
 I gave you every moment
 
 Every dream and all my love
 
 Which I thought was right
  
 
 I wish you could have loved me they way that I'm designed
 
 I wish you could have seen how hard I had to try
 
 To be somebody else in somebody else eyes
 
 I wish you could have loved me they way that I'm designed
