lyrics

THE MAN YOU USED TO KNOW
Lesley Anderson / Bruce Anderson / Trent Willmon

Sometimes I’m still over there the smell of war is in the air
Even though I’m back home here with you
I do my best to be a dad a husband and a normal man
Just tryin to blend in like I’m supposed to

But I’m reliving this nightmare
Why am I still stuck out there
How do I just shut out that life and let it go
I don’t know how not to be a soldier
Without feeling or emotion
How do I get to be that man again
You used to know
The man you used to know

I know life will never be same
The perfect in the picture frame
Because I’ve seen too many things to just pretend
That I don’t like this stranger I’ve become
That I don’t feel worthy of your love
That I’m just a shell of who I was back then
When I was your best friend

But I’m reliving this nightmare
Why am I still stuck out there
How do I just shut out that life and let it go
I don’t know how not to be a soldier
Without feeling or emotion
How do I get to be that man again
You used to know
You used to know

You always been my battle buddy
Had my 6 thru thick and thin
How do we put these broken pieces back together again
How do I heal again
How do I feel again

Because I’m tired of reliving this nightmare
Tired of being stuck there
How do I just shut out that life and let it go
I don’t know how not to be a soldier
Without feelings or emotion
How do I get to be the man again
I’m just tryin to find that man again
You used to know
The man you used to know
