Clara, listen To the man who's on the phone Please don't leave me here alone I make you cry; you ask me why I'm not trying to be cruel I've just always been a fool I walk the Earth, I see the sky I'm not a good man, but I try I live your life, I breathe your air Don't try to tell me I don't care Don't even try to say I'm heartless 'Cos even now I still have two I live a solitary existence And I try to keep my distance But I can't keep away from you Older, colder That reflection is not me That angry face is all I see Now look closer All my feelings I will hide But I'm still the same inside But maybe I don't have to be the good guy Maybe I'm just the madman passing by Or so I'll say, just for a while I'll swallow words and force a smile
