This Broken Man

I thought I could just pretend

I didn't care about love

Or if you gave it back to me

I'm waiting for those golden words

That could shelter me

From the cold I feel

I should've known

Half a person couldn't make one whole

Still I pay for crimes

I would never ever commit

You tell me I'm wrong

With your promises

Unkept along the way

When words are not strong

All the problems have a funny way

To stay

I never know who I am

In times of war

I just don't wanna be left behind

You curse the early days we had

And wish I'd never done

The things I did to be with you

God! You should know

Losing someone

Could really change your ways

What happens if the words you say

Now become the wind

That will blow me far away?

And there I'll remain

While frustration digs a canyon

To contain my darkness and pain

Will you walk the path

To find this broken man?

Will you bring him back?

You tell me I'm wrong

With your promises

Unkept along the way

But then I'll remain

While frustration digs a canyon

To contain my darkness and pain

Will you walk the path

To find this broken man?

Will you bring me home?

I thought I could just pretend

I didn't care about love

Or if you gave it back
