[Verse 1]
I wish that I didn't keep getting stuck in my head
Leaving so many things undone and so much unsaid
But I always wind up locking it all inside
And it just keeps coming between us and that ain't right

[Pre-Chorus]
Well I know it's been a long hard road
And I got a long way to go cause

[Chorus]
The man that I, I wanna be
Ain't the man in the mirror staring back at me
But I'm working hard to make you believe
I can be the man I wanna be

[Verse 2]
I know that when life gets hard I can lean on you
Even after all of the hell that I put you through
Cause you take all the good and the bad and the ups and downs
And somehow you keep finding a reason to stick around

[Pre-Chorus]
Well I'm doing all I can do
Just to be a little more like you
[Chorus]
The man that I, I wanna be
Ain't the man in the mirror staring back at me
But I'm working hard to make you believe
I can be the man I wanna be

[Pre-Chorus]
I know it's been a long hard road
And I got a long way to go

[Chorus]
The man that I, I wanna be
Ain't the man in the mirror staring back at me
But I'm working hard to make you believe
I can be the man I wanna be
The man that I, I wanna be
Ain't the man in the mirror staring back at me
But I'm working hard to make you believe
I can be the man I wanna be
