Hymn For A Broken Man
In the dark I find
The pieces of my broken life
It fell apart in my hands
And I try to put it back together
I have gone beyond repair
As if anybody cares
I am just another casualty
And I've fallen out of touch
I am burdened far too much
In a world that brought me to my knees
I'm just a man who fell and lost it all
I have no one to blame, no one to break my fall
After all that went wrong, somehow I still try to fight
And I don't think I'd mind if tonight was my last night
All alone, I close my eyes
Try to ease the pain that cuts so deep
It's not enough, I start to cry
And I fall into a fearful sleep
Dreams that once gave me light
In the dead of the night
Now show me how I've broken down
I awake but can't escape
From a world that I hate
And I know that it hates me too
I'm just a man who fell and lost it all
I have no one to blame, no one to break my fall
After all that went wrong, somehow I still try to fight
And I don't think I'd mind if tonight was my last night
I am barely hanging on
And I feel I should let go
If there's no solace for me
Why should I have to stay?
I'm just a man who fell and lost it all
I have no one to blame, no one to break my fall
After all that went wrong, somehow I still try to fight
And I don't think I'd mind if tonight was my last night
The pieces of my broken life
It fell apart in my hands
And I try to put it back together
I have gone beyond repair
As if anybody cares
I am just another casualty
And I've fallen out of touch
I am burdened far too much
In a world that brought me to my knees
I'm just a man who fell and lost it all
I have no one to blame, no one to break my fall
After all that went wrong, somehow I still try to fight
And I don't think I'd mind if tonight was my last night
All alone, I close my eyes
Try to ease the pain that cuts so deep
It's not enough, I start to cry
And I fall into a fearful sleep
Dreams that once gave me light
In the dead of the night
Now show me how I've broken down
I awake but can't escape
From a world that I hate
And I know that it hates me too
I'm just a man who fell and lost it all
I have no one to blame, no one to break my fall
After all that went wrong, somehow I still try to fight
And I don't think I'd mind if tonight was my last night
I am barely hanging on
And I feel I should let go
If there's no solace for me
Why should I have to stay?
I'm just a man who fell and lost it all
I have no one to blame, no one to break my fall
After all that went wrong, somehow I still try to fight
And I don't think I'd mind if tonight was my last night
