A girl must fall in line
A girl must know her place
A girl must never shine
Only show her pretty face

But a boy gave me a chance
When we met so long ago
And that boy for me would come to be the man I know

The early years were tough
and the nights would take a toll
Though we never had
we both shared a common goal

We built a burning flame
but it's faded to a glow
yet it radiates with memories of the man I know

Do you remember me
and all we shared
were we a fantasy
and is this pain I feel a lie or real?

I miss the life we led
I miss the love I knew
A part of me is dead and I don't know what to do

I fall asleep at night
seeing life from long ago,
hoping with the dawn I wake to find the man I know

I gave you light to see
you took it all
You said you'd fight for me
but now you turn your face from my embrace

How I handed you my heart
How I trusted in your name
but you ripped our love apart
when you trampled on our flame
where's the man who wants the light
that we lost so long ago

I remember him and need to see the man I know

Are you still the man I know?
Have I lost the man I know
