Broken Man

Oh, I’ve always had to
Learn things for myself
And I never
Could ask anyone for help
Couldn’t find the words to say
So I pushed them all away
Now I’m locked inside my head
Without the key

This is the ballad of a broken man
And it’s killing me, killing me
I know it’s time that I should take my stand
Please lift me up when I will fall
I know you see me through it all
This is the ballad of a broken man

Oh, I’ve always lived a life misunderstood
I pulled apart and ruined everything I could
So many things that I should say
So afraid you’ll walk away
Got these scars
But I can never let them show

This is the ballad of a broken man
And it’s killing me, killing me
I know it’s time that I should take my stand
Please lift me up when I will fall
I know you see me through it all
This is the ballad of a broken man
(A broken man)

So will I ever see who I’m supposed to be
When I can’t shake these thoughts of letting go
So please stay, just stay
And wash it all away, away
I’m waiting for a reason to hold onto hope

This is the ballad of a broken man
I know it’s time that I should take my stand
Please lift me up when I will fall
I know you see me through it all
This is the ballad of a broken man

Oh, I’ve always had to
Learn things for myself
And I never
Could ask anyone for help
