A Different Man

Inside himself

He runs to look in the mirror

And the face that stares right back

Has never been any clearer



But look at the doubt in his eyes

He's not the one to blame



It was a different man

You know he's never been here

You can be so close

You can be so near



It was a different man

Playing different cards

You can be so soft

You can be so hard



Inside himself

He follows the wrong directions

Perfect English words all right

But with the wrong inflections



But look at the dust at his feet

He's not the one she loves



It was a different man

You know he's never been found

You can be so up

You can be so down



It was a different man

You know he's never been there

You can be halfway

You can be all there



Inside himself

He thinks that he looks the same

And the mind that thinks it all out

Never noticed any change



But look at the doubt in his eyes

He's not the one to blame
