What happened to that man?

What happened to that man?
You used to be so sweet and attentive
I could have sworn
God put you here just for me
I could have sworn
I was dreaming

What happened to that man?
The one who made me feel different
The one who appreciated a good woman
The one I thought knew me
The one who defeated the odds
The one who I never questioned

What happened to that man?
The one that knew what it felt like
to be hurt
to be lied to
to be played
to be misunderstood
to be taken advantage of

What happened to that man?
The one that was my best friend
The one who’s eyes saw me purely
That I could laugh with
That I could cry with
That I could say anything to
Be anyone with

What happened to that man?
The one that I accepted openly
The one that I was there for
When days turned into months and months on end
The one I bent over backwards for
The one that was different

What happened to that man?
The one I respected
The one I let my guard down for
The one that made me happy
The one I thought I knew

This is not that man now.
What happened to that man?
