John Mellencamp - What Kind Of Man Am I lyrics

My words don't know the truth They flutter as I speak The sickness I feel under my belt Is the disdain I have for me I've asked you to stand tall But it's me who's fallen down A better man I'd like to be But I can't find my way home now So what kind of man am i? Who never looked up to see the sky And every word I say Has come back to haunt me every day So here I stand alone Crippled on my cane The coward I've become The loser in the game These eyes you see are masked By a thin veneer of tears And who would have known that such a small task Would have compromised all these years 'Cause a liar's guilt is a liar's fate And man, that's just the facts For those too weak to tell the truth Into darkness you'll be cast So what kind of man am i? Who never looked up to see the sky And every word I say Has come back to haunt me every day And here I stand alone Crippled on my cane The coward I've become The loser in the game Angels are flying with you tonight You'd better not let them go 'Cause if you do I'd hate to think Of what your fate could be Speak your mind, tell what you know And set your soul free So what kind of man am i? Who never looked up to see the sky Speak your heart here I stand alone Crippled on my cane The coward I've become Set us free the loser in the game
