Tune in Together

The Man's poster image

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 cuz 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 it, I won't be changing the subject I love it

I'll make your little secret public its 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

Im not cut out for life on the road

Cuz 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

Full lyrics

The Man

"The Man" is a song by singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran. The track features Sheeran's trademark acoustic guitar sound and tackles themes of male insecurity and owning one's success. The song received critical acclaim for its introspective lyrics and catchy chorus. #BehindtheMusic

While recording this song, and the album, a cab driver asked Sheeran to make a clean album for his kid. Sheeran (for reasons we'll never know) took the driver's side and omitted an F-Bomb in this song. #BehindtheMusic

Ed claims this song's composition was mostly stream of consciousness; he had recently been through something traumatic and just let that flow even though, "it's a bit brutal." #BehindtheMusic
