lyrics

Sounds A Lot Like Me

Who gets hired, messed around and fired stopped before the start
Who’s left leaning, able and well meaning/but a world apart

Sounds a lot like me
Sounds a lot like me
Sounds a lot like me
Sounds a lot like me

Who says yes I know I’ll make a mess but does it anyway
Who gets lied to, even when he tried to keep them all at bay

Sounds a lot like me
Sounds a lot like me
Sounds a lot like me
Sounds a lot like me

You may know exactly what I look like when I smile
But I don’t think you’ve ever seen me cry
When I overheard you miss me by a country mile
Please excuse me while I laugh before I say goodbye

I know it is not my business what you think of me
Another tricky subject to avoid
Right now I’m not getting any sense of urgency
Just a creeping feeling that I might be paranoid

Broken mended, now they’re all offended find someone to blame
Reprimanded, every other man did pretty much the same

Sounds a lot like me
Sounds a lot like me
Sounds a lot like me
Sounds a lot like me
