I'm the guy

I'm the guy... without a life, but still....
I'm the guy who made a friend and after love
I'm the guy who calls you 'the woman I love' yet 'the friend I pushed away'

I've made mistakes..they all hurt

I'm the guy who wishes he could go back and change them.
I'm the guy who wishes he could say he's not like all the others
I'm the guy who wants to say he's not playing games...but I am
I'm the guy who wants so many things.

....I can't have.

I'm the guy who sends you flowers and writes nothing.
I'm the guy who calls you on the phone and has nothing to say, but really do.
I'm the guy who's really sorry, but made it so my words don't matter,
I'm the guy who says something he wants to happen, but you can't trust to follow through... I've lied.

I'm the guy who doesn't trust himself,
When it comes to loving you -- and proving that I mean it.

I'm the guy who wants to be there for you..even though I'm not
I'm the guy who can't look once, but has to look twice.
I'm the guy with the ear adjusted to your voice and can't stop listening.

I love you, I swear...
And yet......

I'm the guy who no longer knows what you think
I'm the guy who can't live with himself for not being there
I'm the guy who calls just to hear your voice and the next time I go without talking to you...
I'm the guy who remembers your voice from when I last called you and hates himself more.

I'm the one who sees in your eyes that you cared.
I'm the one who can't see if you still do.

I'm the guy who can see the smile you bear isn't whole
I'm the guy who sees the sorrow behind the mask you wear,
The mask that no one sees, only believes.

I'm the guy who can only remember from the past, be it yesterday, today, or two years ago.
Memories are all I have.

I'm the guy who has all the pieces to the puzzle, but caused himself to hurt,
Who broke his own heart and doesn't know how the pieces fit because they've been mixed together.

I'm the guy who won't be able to live if I don't talk to you in the four days I can (You know what I mean)
And... I'm the guy who can't guarantee he'll see you after that...

I may be one of the only guys that will admit...I cried,
And I cried for you...

I'm the guy who has to hold back his tears,
With everything else in his cracking soul
I'm the guy ready to explode and all I need is you...not necessarily as a girlfriend...
Just your friendship....

I'm the guy that still cares...
