Inside himself 
He runs to look in the mirror 
And the face that stares right back 
Has never been any clearer 
But look at the doubt in his eyes 
He's not the one to blame 

It was a different man, you know he's never been here 
You can be so close, you can be so near 
It was a different man, playing different cards 
You can be so soft, you can be so hard 

Inside himself 
He follows the wrong directions 
Perfect English words all right 
But with the wrong inflections 
But look at the dust at his feet 
He's not the one she loves 

It was a different man, you know he's never been found 
You can be so up, you can be so down 
It was a different man, you know he's never been there 
You can be halfway, you can be all there 

Inside himself, 
He thinks that he looks the same 
And the mind that thinks it all out 
Never noticed any change 
But look at the doubt in his eyes 
He's not the one to blame
