Paper Heart Lyrics
"If I Were The Man That You Wanted"

IF I WAS THE MAN THAT YOU WANTED
Incognito Written By paper HEART

You look at things as they should be
Instead of how they are
You expect me to be the perfect man
Someone to help mend your heart.

I don't wanna be an image
Of something I could never be
Why can't you see
I don't want you to look in my eyes
And never really see me.

But if I could be everything you wanted me to be
Would you still let me?
Cause if I was the man that you wanted
If I could be
If I was the man that you wanted
Would you still let me?

You look at me as if I were Cary Grant
Just a movie star
You expect me to play a role I can't
And you know it's just so hard.

I don't wanna be some idol of movies
Why can't you see
I don't want you to look in my eyes
And never really see me.

But if I could be everything you wanted me to be
Would you still let me?
Cause if I was the man that you wanted
If I could be
If I was the man that you wanted
Would you still let me?

If you ever wake up and put the pieces together
Maybe you'll see that I'm an ordinary man
Who only wants to hold your hand.
