I had requested in a previous post to review but I would like some feedback on this song, thanks.

THE MAN OF USED TO BE'S
Jason Bruun jan/23/2002

I've never been good at love
I'm a falure from the start
Everytime I start to care
I seem to break my heart
I know it seems so strange
But it happens every time
When I start to love someone
The heart I break is mine

I'm the lonely man who was loved by you, and pushed you far away
It's the same old thing every time, when I care I run away
And someday I may find someone, who will do the same to me
But right now I'm the same old guy, the man of used to be's.

Last time it was a late night call
I scared her with my heart
I know that she cared for me
It was over at the start
I wish that I could tell her now
That I am doing fine
But I care to much to let her know
And to me I'm only lying

I'm the lonely man who was loved by you, and pushed you far away
It's the same old thing every time, when I care I run away
And someday I may find someone, who will do the same to me
But right now I'm the same old guy, the man of used to be's.

I'm the lonely man who was loved by you, and pushed you far away
It's the same old thing every time, when I care I run away
And someday I may find someone, who will do the same to me
But right now I'm the same old guy, the man of used to be's.
But next time I'm gonna change it all, and never be the same
I'm gonna walk not run, I'm gonna do this the right way
But I'll always be the lonely man, who let her get away
Oh I'll always be the lonely man, who let her get away
I let her get away
