“Every Day You Remind Me”
No one said I was a wise man
I cut myself off from emotions
and feelings
It’s like I’m living as only half a man
I’m sick of people trying to spare my feelings
And
how people look at me reminds me
Their stares tell me they don’t see who I really am
They no longer treat me as
if I’m a man
I’m not looking for fame or glory
I don’t want anyone to say they’re sorry
You’re
sadly mistaken
If you think I’ll admit my heart is breaking
And I’m not wrong, I’m just down
Emptying
another bottle
These five words I haven’t said:
“Am I having fun, yet?”
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No,
no.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no.
Wilson, I’m sure you know that
You’re a good friend and you’ve
stayed true
Even when things got really bad
At times sticking by me must have nearly killed you
And still you remind
me of what I really am
You stand by me and believe in who I really am
But don’t expect me to say, “Sorry.”
There’s
no “happily ever after” in this story
When I’m hurt and shaking
I can see your heart is breaking
You’ve
stayed strong, even when I’m down
Looking at the bottom of another bottle
Hearing five words in my head:
Seems
“I’m not having fun, yet.”
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no.
Yeah, yeah,
yeah. No, no.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no.
Never said I was a wise man
I try to hide my emotions and feelings
But
you always find me
And every day you remind me
That you know deep inside me who I really am
You never let me
forget who I really am
Even though I’ll never say I’m sorry
The final outcome is a different story
I’m
emerging bruised and shaken
But your risk was worth taking
I know I’m wrong, I won’t stay down
I’m
climbing back out of the bottle
Maybe I’ll get it through my head:
This is “as good as it gets.”
Yeah,
yeah… “As good as it gets.”
Yeah, yeah… “As good as it gets.”
Yeah, yeah…
“As good as it gets.”
Yeah, yeah…
