The Orphanage
The Man I Know
[Intro]
I’m steady but I’m about to blow
Don’t let me leave, it’s not time to go
Are you still there, oh the man I know?
[Verse 1]
Take me back to the first night
When you felt so lucky to have me
And we had our first fight
Could tell how much you cared about me
But you don’t cry no more
You don’t fight for me no more
And the way you’d smile in the morning waking up beside me
Now you’re always tired, I feel like I can’t make you happy
I always want you more, you used to want me more and more
[Pre-Chorus]
And when you’re feeling low
I’ll hit you with the highest note I know
[Chorus]
I’m steady but I’m about to blow
Don’t let me leave, it’s not time to go
Are you still there, oh the man I know?
I want the man I
You’re shutting down and I can’t control where we go
I know I'm meant for more
Are you still there, oh the man I know?
Cos I want the man I know
[Verse 2]
And you’re so far away now
Even when you’re right beside me
I’m not asking for more time
I just need you here when you’re with me
Are you hearing me? Are you even listening?
Now I’m loving myself less cause weren’t giving it to me
I deserve the attention, when I want it I always feel guilty
So I just walk away, give you time to miss me
[Pre-Chorus]
And when you’re feeling low
I’ll hit you with the highest note I know
[Chorus]
I’m steady but I’m about to blow
Don’t let me leave, it’s not time to go
Are you still there, oh the man I know?
Yeah, I want the man I
You’re shutting down and I can’t control where we go
I know I'm meant for more
Are you still there, oh the man I know?
Yeah, I want the man I know, I want the man I know
I want the man I know, I want the man I
Are you still there? I’m not letting go
Cos I want the man I know
[Bridge]
I’m desperate for your love
I'm begging, give it up
You don’t have to run away, no, no
I’ll hold you in my arms
Say what’s going on
You don’t have to run away from us
No, no, no, no
Don’t you run away
No, no, no, no
Don’t you run away
[Chorus]
I’m steady but I’m about to blow
Don’t let me leave, it’s not time to go
Are you still there, oh the man I know?
Yeah, I want the man I
You’re shutting down and I can’t control where we go
I know I’m meant for more
Are you still there, oh the man I know?
Yeah, I want the man I know
I want the man I know, I want the man I
Are you still there? I’m not letting go
Cos I want the man I know
