Designed

(album: Human Design - 2020)

All my pride and all my fears
Have been there so long
Funny how you try to change
When you can't say you're wrong
I could have done things better
I wanted to but I'm always too late

Borrowed lines from other guys
To make me sound good
Terrified to be myself
When I know that I should
I could have said things better
I wanted to but I'm always too late

I tried to be the man you need
You know I did my best to give you everything
I gave you every moment
Every dream and all my love
Which I thought was right

I wish you could have loved me the way that I'm designed
I wish you could have seen how hard I had to try
To be somebody else in somebody else's eyes
I wish you could have loved me they way that I'm designed

False starts and lost hearts
They follow me home
Like a dog or a stranger
That I feel sorry for
I could have made things better
I wanted to but I'm always too late

I tried to be the man you need
You know I did my best to give you everything
I gave you every moment
Every dream and all my love
Which I thought was right

I wish you could have loved me they way that I'm designed
I wish you could have seen how hard I had to try
To be somebody else in somebody else eyes
I wish you could have loved me they way that I'm designed
