Oh when he walks into the room you have to notice him
And quickly he becomes the center of attention
Can I make this picture any clearer?
Are you following me I hope?
’Cause I’m sure he’s the spitting image
Of somebody that you know

He’ll tell you just how good he was he’s never lost for words
And how he never got the shot he thinks he so deserved
Can I make this picture any clearer?
Are you still following my lead?
I betcha he reminds you of somebody
I’m almost gonna guarantee

Chorus
He’s holding so much bitterness inside
Takes it out on everyone
Even hurts the ones he loves
He blames the world for ruining his life
For his lack of fame I guess we’re all to blame

He has a smile that lights the room oh he can turn it on
He’ll tell you story after story he’s got lots of ’em
Can I make this picture any clearer?
Are you feelin’ what I’m trying to say?
I’m sure you met someone just like him
Some a’where along the way

He cannot appreciate what someone else accomplishes
He’d rather hate and not congratulate, so negative
Can I make this picture any clearer?
I think you know what I’ve been trying to say
And just from hearing my description
I bet you see somebody’s face

He just won’t, won’t let go
He just keeps on holding on
To all those washed out dreams
All of the painful memories
Of how it really would’ve, could’ve, should’ve of been
Can’t move on, all hope’s gone
He hates the whole entire world
For not getting his break
Because he believes that he was great
But he wasn’t recognized
The way he should of been
God bless that man
God bless that man
