The Man I'll Never Be
I am just a fool
An imposter and a fake
Like the Lady of the Lake
I'm drowning in the waves of my deceit
But rescued by your face each time we meet
If I tell you the truth at last
Would I lose your esteemed affection?
Would you hate me and curse my name?
I'd only have myself to blame
So why upset you now
When we can still be friends
As the truth just slightly bends
I'm happy in my mad hypocrisy
Pretending I'm the man I'll never be
An imposter and a fake
Like the Lady of the Lake
I'm drowning in the waves of my deceit
But rescued by your face each time we meet
If I tell you the truth at last
Would I lose your esteemed affection?
Would you hate me and curse my name?
I'd only have myself to blame
So why upset you now
When we can still be friends
As the truth just slightly bends
I'm happy in my mad hypocrisy
Pretending I'm the man I'll never be
