Don't Tell Her I'm Not

(album: It Ain't All Bad - 2013)

It's just me and the street lights
A half a mile from home
There's a woman waiting there that I love so much
I can't stand being gone
And I've been afraid more times than I can count
That I'll mess up and do a stupid thing
And somehow let her down

Cause she loves me
And I don't' know why she does
But she loves me
Lord I hope that I'm enough

Don't let her see me as any less of a man
Than the one she thinks I am
And don't let her find out that I'm really not so strong
I'm trying to love her with all I've got
She thinks I'm a hero don't tell her I'm not

Yeah I said some things
I wish I'd never said
Now I'm driving around thinking out loud
Trying to get it off my chest
I couldn't stand to see those tears
Falling down her pretty face
And knowing it's because of me
Makes me feel so ashamed

Cause she loves me
Oh and I can't figure out
Why she loves me
What's she thinking of me now

Don't let her see me as any less of a man
Than the one she thinks I am
Don't let her find out that I'm really not so strong
I'm trying to love her with all I've got
She thinks I'm a hero don't tell her I'm not
