Who Would I Be Now

Most nights I didn’t see you
You were at the bar
Did you ever think of me
Or was that takin’ it too far?

I think you really loved me
But show me you did not
You were never there for me
When I needed you a lot

Those Saturday night fights
Your fists they did pound
Those lonely Sunday mornings
I dare not make a sound

Who would I be now
If you were different then?
What could I’ve become
If you were a real man?

The wounds you left behind
Still haunt me in my sleep
I still feel the pain
The cuts are so deep

It’s a crazy thing to love someone
But to be so afraid
To say something wrong
And ignite your red hot rage

I felt the angry wrath
Of your drunken scorn
My lonely birthdays past
The day I was born

Where did you go
When for days you were away?
Who were those women
And here did you stay?

Who would I be now
If you were different then?
What could I’ve become
If you were a real man?

The wounds you left behind
Still haunt me in my sleep
I still feel the pain
The cuts are so deep

Your absence left a hole
In this heart of mine
You wanted to be away
And drink most the time

It could have been different
You could have stayed with me
But stay home you did not
You wanted to be free

So now there you have it
There’s no more suspense
I’m wanderin’ through life
Trying to make it all make sense

Who would I be now
If you were different then?
What could I’ve become
If you were a real man?

The wounds you left behind
Still haunt me in my sleep
I still feel the pain
The cuts are so deep

Who would I be now
Ya, who would I be now
