The Man
Ed Sheeran Song Lyrics

Now I don't wanna hate you

Just wish you'd never gone for the man

And waited two weeks at least

Before you let him take you

I stayed true

I kind of knew you liked the dude from private school

He's waiting for the time to move

I knew he had his eyes on you

He's not the right guy for you

Don't hate me cause I write the truth

No I would never lie to you

But it was never fine to lose you

And what a way to find out

It never came from my mouth

You never changed your mind

But you were just afraid to mind out

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

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

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

Trapped and I'm lacking sleep

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

You're practically my family

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

But tragically our love just lost the will to live

But would I kill to give it one more shot

I think not

I don't love you baby

I don't need you baby

I don't want you no

Anymore

I don't love you baby

I don't need you baby

I don't wanna love you no

Anymore

Recently I tend to zone out

Up in my headphones to holocene

You promised your body but I'm away so much

I stay more celibate than in a monastery

I'm not cut out for life on the road

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

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

I guess I'm not the man that you need

Ever since you went to uni

I've been sofa surfing with a rucksack

Full of less cash and I guess that could get bad

But when I broke the industry

That's when I broke your heart

I was supposed to chart and celebrate

But good things are over fast

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

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

Then I turn the music off

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

I never really want to believe this

Got advice from my dad and he

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

I guess I'm unaware of it

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

I don't love you baby

I don't need you baby

I don't want you no

Anymore

I don't love you baby

I don't need you baby

I don't wanna love you no

Anymore

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

It's what I need to stay strong

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Go down in history as just a wasted talent

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

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

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

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

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

Take my apology, I'm sorry for the honesty

But I had to get this off my chest

I don't love you baby

I don't need you baby

I don't want you no

Anymore

I don't love you baby

I don't need you baby

I don't wanna love you no

Anymore
