When visions blur, you nearly see me
Cold and tired, you call my name
When your body aches, you need my touch
I don't want to be that man
I don't want to be that man
When the Lord's been good, you don't remember
When he don't make sense, you reel me in
If being alone is what's intended
I don't want to be that man
I don't want to be that man
So hide me from those eyes so deep
Make me deaf to her siren song
Take this pain right out of my soul
I don't want to be that man
I don't want to be that man
So purge this poison right from my veins
Pluck the envy from my heart
Put in hand two bitter reigns
I don't want to be that man
I don't want to be that man
No, I don't want to be that man
I don't want to be that man
