The Other Man

I can hear it

You've been yelling at him all night long

I can smell it

He has you smoking and drinking more

You call me, me the other man, the revenge he'll never know about

He doesn't deserve this and yet you do it

You want to fill a void and want me to be the one to do it

You'll wrap your legs around my waist and then throw me aside when you're done

Just like last time and the time before that

I tell you I'm not the solution to your problems

I can't fix you

All I can do is support and help your lies

I was addicted to so much

The pills, the money, the adrenaline rush, the power, and even the pain

The pain of being the bad guy and the pain you bring him and me

I fought away all of my other addictions but not you

Until tonight

I'm not doing it anymore

I'm not the other man anymore
