Lyrics The Man That Never Was - Tank

When I sleep I get the same old dream
About a girl when I was sweet sixteen
She looked at my legs and then in between
I didn't know where the hell she'd been
It's no wonder that I scream out loud
When you are always trying to put me down

You're trying to tell me they're breaking away
That's the same line I've heard all
Day and that's how this all started

I'm the man that never was, I'm the man that never was,
I'm the man that never was, I'm the man that never was

I'd like to tell you but where can I start
You want the apple not the apple cart
Breaking wind and breaking hearts
I don't know how to tell the two apart
You tried to blame me for all your mistakes
Do you realize how much this takes

You're trying to tell me they're breaking away
That's the same line I've heard all
Day and that's how this all started
I'm the man that never was, I'm the man that never was,
I'm the man that never was, I'm the man that never was

I'd like to tell you but where can I start
You want the apple not the apple cart
Breaking wind and breaking hearts
I don't know how to tell the two apart
You're trying to tell me that this is the end
I don't really know what you intend

You're trying to tell me they're breaking away
But it's the same line I've heard all day
I'm the man that never was, I'm the man that never was,
I'm the man that never was, I'm the man that never was
