That’s Me Lyrics by Genesis

50 Years Ago

1968

[Verse]
Every morning when the people are out
And I'm free move around on my own
I look into the sun and I see a reflection
Of a sad and lonely shriveled man

[Pre-Chorus]
That's me, that's me
And I know it's how I'm always going to be
Nothing to do, nothing to say
Nothing to hope and nothing to pray

[Chorus]
I can't see, I can't feel
I've forgotten what I'm meant to be
Won't come back, not if I try
They told me things about me
That I didn't know
But I could tell they've told me lies
And it really goes to show
That everyone was wrong
And they don't understand my ways
But it's not me that's going wrong, it's them

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
I can't see, I can't feel
I've forgotten what I'm meant to be
Won't come back, not if I try
They told me things about me
That I didn't know
But I could tell they've told me lies
And it really goes to show
That everyone was wrong and
They don't understand my ways
But it's not me that's going wrong, it's them

[Verse]
Every morning when the people are out
And I'm free move around my own
I look into the sun and I see a reflection
Of a sad and lonely shriveled man

[Pre-Chorus]
That's me, that's me
And I know it's how I'm always going to be
That's me, that's me
And I know it's how I'm always going to be

[Outro]
Shriveled old man who hides from words
He's never seen the light that can set him free
His vicious life is such a shame
I want to find out who's to blame
That's me, that's me
That's me, set me free
