William Hicks - The Man lyrics

[Verse 1] Now I don't wanna hate you Just wish you'd never gone for the man And waited two weeks at least Before you let him take you I stayed true, I kind of knew You liked the dude from private school He's waiting for the time to move I knew he had his eyes on you He's not the right guy for you Don't hate me cause I write the truth No, I would never lie to you But it was never fine to lose you And what a way to find out It never came from my mouth You never changed your mind But you were just afraid to mind out But f** it I won't be changing the subject, I love it I'll make your little secret public It's nothing, I'm just disgusted with the skeletons You sleep with in your closet to get back at me Trapped and I'm lacking sleep Fact is you're mad at me Because I backtrack so casually You're practically my family If we married then I'll guess you'd have to be But tragically our love just lost the will to live But would I k** to give it one more shot? I think not [Hook] I don't love you baby I don't need you baby I don't want you no Anymore I don't love you baby I don't need you baby I don't wanna love you no Anymore [Verse 2] Recently I tend to zone out Up in my headphones to Holocene You promised your body but I'm away so much I stay more celibate than in a monastery I'm not cut out for life on the road Cause I didn't know I'd miss you this much And at the time we'd just go, so sue me I guess I'm not the man that you need Ever since you went to uni I've been sofa surfing with a rucksack Full of less cash and I guess that could get bad But when I broke the industry That's when I broke your heart I was supposed to chart and celebrate But good things are over fast I know it's hard to deal with and see this I tend to turn you off and switch on my professional features Then I turn the music off And all I'm left with is to pick up my personal pieces, Jesus I never really want to believe this Got advice from my dad and he Told me that family is all I'll ever have and need I guess I'm unaware of it Success is nothing if you have no one there left to share it with [Hook] I don't love you baby I don't need you baby I don't want you no Anymore I don't love you baby I don't need you baby I don't wanna love you no Anymore] [Verse 3] And since you left, I've given up my days off It's what I need to stay strong I know you have a day job but mine is 24/7 I feel like writing a book, I guess I lied in the hook Cause I still love you and I need you by my side if I could The irony is if my career and music didn't exist In 6 years, yeah, you'd probably be my wife with a kid I'm frightened to think if I depend on cider and drink And lighting a spliff I fall into a spiral and it's Just hiding my misguiding thoughts that I'm trying to k** And I'd be writing my will before I'm 27, I'll die from a thrill Go down in history as just a wasted talent Can I face the challenge, or did I make a mistake erasing Alice? It's only therapy, my thoughts just get ahead of me Eventually I'll be fine I know that it was never meant to be Either way I guess I'm not prepared, but I'll say this These things happen for a reason and you can't change sh** Take my apology, I'm sorry for the honesty But I had to get this off my chest [Hook] I don't love you baby I don't need you baby I don't want you no Anymore I don't love you baby I don't need you baby I don't wanna love you no Anymore]
