Outlook East Manchester

The man in the glass

You can't have him over
You can't run away
Cos you'll have to face him again the next day

So don't you deceive him
And don't tell him lies
Cos you know he will see when he looks in your eyes

That your not being honest
You're playing the fool
But he doesn't care, he can just play it cool


The reality is
That you are going mad
Now you're looking at him for the things that you had

But he wasn't there
When you took the wrong road
But it's him that has now got to carry the load

He just tried to help you
To show you the way
But it's guaranteed that man will not run away

He's your present your future
Your dark distant past
And you just cannot hide from

The man in the glass
