[moves through his room, the journal mysteriously open to the world as he heads to the bathroom to tie his tie on for the morning]

When I'm in trouble or out of step
If my balance has been upset
Oh, there's a feeling I can't accept [tugs on the bottom of his tie to bring the knot up to his neck]There's one thing that helps me to forget

[pulls the vest from the closet slipping it on and buttoning it up]

If life were easy and didn't ask,
didn't tease me or take things back ♫
I could start to understand,
what makes me the man I am... ♫

[a pause as he exhales and glances in the mirror of his dresser]

[makethingsright]

[running his hand through his hair he puts his cufflinks on]

Wonder what I'm thinking ♪
Wonder why I'm drinking
But it's plain to see,
I'm not the man I used to be ♪

Oh, it's plain and it's a shame
I'm not the man I used to be ♪

[a heavy exhale comes from him as he moves back to his bathroom brushing his teeth, but as soon as he's finished and has rinsed his mouth out his song continues]

I've lost dreams that won't come back,
memories fading fast ♬
I should save the ones I have
What's the use?
Most of them are bad ♬

[the castle brings him a cup of coffee and he takes a slow sip for a moment]

[makethingsright]

[sets the coffee cup down and returns to the closet pulling a suit jacket from the rack]

Oh, it's plain and it's a shame
I can't explain ♩
But I'm not the man I used to be
It's a shame, don't know my name
I can't explain ♩
I'm not the man I used to be
Do you know my name? ♩
Do you, do you need me?
But I'm not the man... [and his song ends as he puts on the jacket, no more singing as he states a final added line]

I used to be.
