A Different Man

Inside himself
He runs to look in the mirror
And the face that stares right back
Has never been any clearer

But look at the doubt in his eyes
He's not the one to blame

It was a different man
You know he's never been here
You can be so close
You can be so near

It was a different man
Playing different cards
You can be so soft
You can be so hard

Inside himself
He follows the wrong directions
Perfect English words all right
But with the wrong inflections

But look at the dust at his feet
He's not the one she loves

It was a different man
You know he's never been found
You can be so up
You can be so down

It was a different man
You know he's never been there
You can be halfway
You can be all there

Inside himself
He thinks that he looks the same
And the mind that thinks it all out
Never noticed any change

But look at the doubt in his eyes
He's not the one to blame
