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, Try to see my other side. When I get like this, Remember this 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'm still the same For my deeds I'll take the blame. So when I get like this, Just put it all on me. When I get like this, Well, just don't see I'm not who I was Nor what I want to be, Just a man Adrift at sea. You need never fear My dam will break, My demons' desolation In their wake. I hold them firm, I hold them fast - Until their fury Is done and past. I will never let them reach you my Love You, my Angel, from Above. So when I get like this ... When I get like this... Remember I'm a man Doing what 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 at night, Everything will be alright Just turn away When I get like this, When I get - like - this.
