Just hitting that brick wall! No matter what you do, you just can't get her over that other guy... you're the transition man, but to you, it feels like love (well, "in the moment" anyway).

You called all your cards last night
I didn't have the strength to fight
Wantin' to know how I feel
When I still can't believe this is real
I know you're confused - but baby, I've got nothin' to lose
So take my hand - maybe then you'll understand
Feel like a part-time man

While I hide, you deceive
We never wear our hearts on our sleeves
Nobody knows, nobody sees
I'm wonderin' whatcha thinkin' of me
I know where you've been but baby, cantcha get over him
I'm gettin' lost in your eyes but you just sit there and analyze
Feel like a man disguised

Feels like I wanna tell you
Everything but I'm not sure
Feels like I wanna love you
All the way but I'm so insecure

Bury myself in this paper trail
My world is flat, my words are stale
Find enclosed my heart enforced
Kindly acknowledge what you've endorsed
If you'd let him go, baby, there's so much more of me I would show
If you'd let me care, there's so much more of me I'd share
Feel like a man laid bare

(Instr.)

I open my heart with a kiss
I pray that you're listening to this
I open my soul to the blues
Please put away your walking shoes
It's cold outside 'cos I've tossed away my foolish pride
Am I warm enough? Now you see I'm not so tough
Feel like a man in love

Shakin' /quakin' /breakin' /achin'
Feel like a...
