Just a Man

If I should forget myself Forgive me if you can There's nothing I can offer you I hope you understand And all those rules I made for you Forget them if you can When everything is said and done I am just a man I'm just a man Just a man Death will conquer, Death will win On that you can depend And every fool's opinion Will mean nothing in the end But if I should forget myself Remind me who I am When everything is said and done I am just a man I'm just a man Just a man... If I were to say to you Existence is a lie Love is just a fleeting glimpse A pleasure doomed to die And if I should repeat myself Would you understand? When everything is said and done I am just a man I'm just a man Just a man... When you come to question me With hatred in your eyes You're not the one you seemed to be But this is no surprise And if I need protection From the demon that I am Don't question my integrity Just save me if you can I'm just a man Just a man... Locked inside a paradigm An actor with no fate You're never who you think you are You've left it much too late You're in the grip of circumstance You're sinking in the sand When everything is said and done You are just a man You're just a man Just a man... Standing at the end of Time Lost inside myself Introspection weakens me Damages my mental health I've travelled round the universe And now I'm back again Love and Death are mysteries And I am just a man I'm just a man Just a man...
