The Man Lyrics - Ed Sheeran

1 Now I don't wanna hate you

2 Just wish you'd never gone for the man

3 And waited two weeks at least

4 Before you let him take you

5 I stayed true

6 I kind of knew you liked the dude from private school

7 He's waiting for the time to move

8 I knew he had his eyes on you

9 He's not the right guy for you

10 Don't hate me cause I write the truth

11 No I would never lie to you

12 But it was never fine to lose you

13 And what a way to find out

14 It never came from my mouth

15 You never changed your mind

16 But you were just afraid to mind out

17 But fuck it, I won't be changing the subject I love it

18 I'll make your little secret public it's nothing

19 I'm just disgusted with the skeletons you sleep with in your closet to get back at me

20 Trapped and I'm lacking sleep

21 Fact is you're mad at me because I backtrack so casually

22 You're practically my family

23 If we married then I'll guess you'd have to be

24 But tragically our love just lost the will to live

25 But would I kill to give it one more shot

26 I think not

27 I don't love you baby

28 I don't need you baby

29 I don't want you no

30 Anymore

31 I don't love you baby

32 I don't need you baby

33 I don't wanna love you no

34 Anymore

35 Recently I tend to zone out

36 Up in my headphones to Holocene

37 You promised your body but I'm away so much

38 I stay more celibate than in a monastery

39 I'm not cut out for life on the road

40 Cause I didn't know I'd miss you this much

41 And at the time we'd just go, so sue me

42 I guess I'm not the man that you need

43 Ever since you went to uni

44 I've been sofa surfing with a rucksack

45 Full of less cash and I guess that could get bad

46 But when I broke the industry

47 That's when I broke your heart

48 I was supposed to chart and celebrate

49 But good things are over fast

50 I know it's hard to deal with and see this

51 I tend to turn you off and switch on my professional features

52 Then I turn the music off

53 And all I'm left with is to pick up my personal pieces, Jesus

54 I never really want to believe this

55 Got advice from my dad and he

56 Told me that family is all I'll ever have and need

57 I guess I'm unaware of it

58 Success is nothing if you have no one there left to share it with

59 I don't love you baby

60 I don't need you baby

61 I don't want you no

62 Anymore

63 I don't love you baby

64 I don't need you baby

65 I don't wanna love you no

66 Anymore

67 And since you left, I've given up my days off

68 It's what I need to stay strong

69 I know you have a day job but mine is 24/7

70 I feel like writing a book, I guess I lied in the hook

71 Cause I still love you and I need you by my side if I could

72 The irony is if my career and music didn't exist

73 In 6 years, yeah, you'd probably be my wife with a kid

74 I'm frightened to think if I depend on cider and drink

75 And lighting a spliff I fall into a spiral and it's

76 Just hiding my misguiding thoughts that I'm trying to kill

77 And I'd be writing my will before I'm 27, I'll die from a thrill

78 Go down in history as just a wasted talent

79 Can I face the challenge, or did I make a mistake erasing?

80 It's only therapy, my thoughts just get ahead of me

81 Eventually I'll be fine I know that it was never meant to be

82 Either way I guess I'm not prepared, but I'll say this

83 These things happen for a reason and you can't change shit

84 Take my apology, I'm sorry for the honesty

85 But I had to get this off my chest

86 I don't love you baby

87 I don't need you baby

88 I don't want you no

89 Anymore

90 I don't love you baby

91 I don't need you baby

92 I don't wanna love you no

93 Anymore
