When I Get Like This

When I Get Like This When I get like this, Try not to run away and hide. When I get like this, Remember that I have a better side. When I get like this, Remember that this too will pass, When I get like this, Remember you're my first and last. Though I cannot say What changes make me stray, What devil burns inside That steals away my pride And makes me someone else No longer know myself, Know that down within I am still the same And for whatever deeds I will take the blame. So when I get like this, Just put it all on me. And when I get like this, Close your eyes and just don't see That I'm not who I was, Nor that I want to be, Just another weak man Cast adrift at sea. You need never fear That my dam will break, Or my demons lay desolation In their wake. I will hold them firm, I will hold them fast - Until their fury Is done and past. I will never let them reach you my Love For you are my Angel from Above. You are the one who holds me sway, When I stumble in the dark And lose my way. So when I get like this ... When I get like this... Remember that I'm just a man Doing everything he can Not to be the thing that he can't stand - And just turn away Wait for the light of day The beast will skulk away in the night, And everything will be alright Just turn away When I get like this, When I get - like - this.
