[Verse 1]
There are so many questions
There are so many doubts –
This is auto suggestion
Your spirit is giving out
If I offered my reasons
Would you give me a break?
Now it's all open season
No sense of give and take

[Pre-Chorus]
You see I'm not the man I was...

[Chorus]
But if I'm not the man
That you took me to be
Do I fade from your dreams
Disappear from your memory?
Look at me:
If I'm not the man I was
Then who was he?

[Verse 2]
There can be no returning
To the scene of the crime...
For perfection you're yearning –
Some romance, some foreign clime!
Is the memory explicit
Under strict rule of thumb?
It was always implicit
This character I've become
[Chorus]
But if I'm not the man (But if I'm not the man)
That you took me to be
Do I fade from your dreams
Disappear from your memory?
I remember it well (I remember it well)
I can guess what went wrong...
You believed all those words
In the popular songs...
But, if I'm not the man
That you took me to be
Did I walk in your dreams?
I've no idea who that person could be

[Instrumental]

[Outro]
Look at me:
If I'm not the man I was
Then who is he?
