A song about a stubborn man who regretfully didn't want to have to change for the woman he loves
lyrics
I know you wanted me to understand you
I know you wanted me to care
I know you wanted something more than an affair
I know you wanted me to be your father
I know you wanted me to learn
I know you wanted me to meet all of your terms
But, we see how that worked
'Cause girl it didn't last
But, I'm hoping that you see
I'm sorry that I'm not the man you wanted me to be
I know you wanted me to write you letters
And call you up before you sleep
I know you wanted me to move to Tennessee
I know you wanted me to stop pretending
that everything would be okay
I know you wanted me to love you anyway
Now you find a man that treats you well
And he loves the Lord with all his heart
And I'm sorry that I couldn't just live up to that
I know you wanted me to say I love you
I didn't want to say, "So long."
I know you wanted me to just write you a song
I'm hoping that you found the man you wanted me to be
