I apologize for being that man
But I won’t apologize
Because that’s just who I am
I wish I could make you see
What’s behind this skin
And these hands
Just what lies beneath
This thick skull of mine

But I live in my head
And can’t seem to get words
To come out of my mouth
As easily as my fingertips

I only want to wrap my arms
Around you while you fall asleep
I want to see you in the morning
For a kiss goodbye
And formulate the same memories
So we can laugh some other week

But I need a chance
To show you who I am
I need eyes to see through
The smoke and isolation
To the core of this man
Who stands before you humbled
And wanting nothing but your hand

But I apologize for being that man
I can’t say “I’m sorry”
That’s just who I am

I hope you see
Wish I could make you feel
But I can’t even make myself
So how could I make you?
