The man she thought he was

verse

Her romantic memory of him.

stands between me and love.

The man I knew was a pretender.

what she saw never was.

Pre chorus

I just wish that she could see

I'm the man she thought he was.

I'm the man she thought he was.

Chorus

a kind man, a loving man

a guy a lot like me.

oh lord why can’t she see

I'm the man of her dreams.

verse

to tell her the truth would break her heart.

I can't do that to her.

I can't compete with a memory.

That she holds dear to her.

Pre chorus

I just wish that she could see

I'm the man she thought he was.

I'm the man she thought he was.

Chorus

a kind man, a loving man

a guy a lot like me.

oh lord why can’t she see

I'm the man of her dreams.

Bridge

She’s forgotten his indiscretions

The heartaches that he caused.

Her fantasies are all that she sees

She can’t recall he was flawed.
