What will they write about me? What will the version be when all is said and done? Will they remember all of the places seen, the poems lost, Or am I just wondering on? Yeah, I'm just wondering on.

There could be fewer days ahead than gone, And all I've spent are long since on my way To learn that nothing comes for free, But I'm not the man... I'm not the man... I used to be. Don't leave me behind Don't leave me behind Like I left you behind Songtexte There could be fewer days ahead than gone, And all I've spent are long since on my way To learn that nothing comes for free. I had a lot of time to waste, I wrote the lines upon my face, Chasin' down the shots they bought for me, And I'm not the man; I'm not the man, I'm not the man, but I used to be.

I want to be. I just want to be. Aus Songtexte Mania
