JUST ONE MORE MAN

As I walked down the street, and you came into view

Couldn't see your face, but I knew it was you

You leaned against his car, under parking lot light

While I stood there transparent, in the grip of the night

You both spoke so softly, I could barely hear

But I could tell by your bodies, it was perfectly clear

As you stood there and kissed him, so easy to see

You now loved another, and no longer loved me

With our hearts in boxes, on rows of shelves

Sometimes we don't even know ourselves

I closed my eyes tight as my head spun 'round

I heard my heart breaking, a low, lonesome sound

You'd say you were sorry, that you'd never hurt me

But your feelings had changed, we were not meant to be

A forgotten toy on a bedroom shelf

Sometimes you don't even know yourself

With all my past pain as a brand new start

And the strength of conviction to set me apart

I thought myself special, even better than most

Emotions of lead, the heart of a ghost

I'd pretend to be strong, could care less what you did

As I ran out the back, or kept myself hid

Now you here at my door, with me still your fool

Just another lost child in the drowning pool

A man on a ledge, with a lipstick scar

Sometimes you just don't know who you are

Your grey eyes are open, though you don't speak a word

With my sayin' 'I love you', as the last thing you heard

It's clear I'm not special, not a part of some plan

Only one in a billion, just one more man

Now your heart's in a box, on a closet shelf

For sometimes I don't even know myself
