“Oh, Man”

I used to go through life hiding in plain sight
Walking in the light but trapped in the dark
Giving away what I could say through my art
But, oh, man, the pain was too great without you

Although I appear to be unmoved by your heart
I’ve got love for you deep down within my soul
I always knew that I just couldn’t hide from you

But, oh, man, why must I sit here and wait?
You captured my love when you swore over your salad
But I shall not sacrifice my soul for our first kiss
There will never again be another like you
I tried to rule through my love and art
But all the while I was chasing you through others
But, oh, man, your absence within life has taken a toll
Must I chase you all over again?
Must this game go on without end?
Must I lose you to win again?
But, oh, man, this ain’t no game of pretend

I’ve cried out loud but no one heard it
Living life without your love is no fun
I live life alone rather than give up on you

But, oh, man, why must I sit here and wait?
You captured my love when you swore over your salad
But I shall not sacrifice my soul for our first kiss
There will never again be another like you
I tried to rule through my love and art
But all the while I was chasing you through others
But, oh, man, your absence within life has taken a toll
Must I chase you all over again?
Must this game go on without end?
Must I lose you to win again?
But, oh, man, this ain’t no game of pretend

Although I’m a very old soul
I found you with my art
I need you to make me whole
‘Cause you’re the one that I need
Oh, I concede, oh, I concede
This is no game
But, oh, man, must I lose in order to win?
