I am a man But that's not all I am There is more here than the smiles in old photographs The memories trapped under glass When times are good or bad The moments came and passed so fast So here I am Just a tired, broken man And I hope, I hope that someone Somewhere understands I try to do the best I can But nothing ever, ever Goes according to it's plan As I look back at what went wrong I wonder if I had been strong Enough to face this on my own But that was it, never again So here I am Just a tired, broken man And I hope, I hope that someone Somewhere understands I try to do the best I can But nothing ever, ever Goes according to it's plan I don't think I should be alone right now I need a chance to make it right somehow So if it feels like I'm dragging you down And you don't want me around, then just say so So here I am Just a tired, broken man I've always been the first To volunteer all of my time The last to leave it all behind The life I lived I thought was mine But now I feel it slipping through my hands Right through my hands And I don't know where to go And I don't know what to do Between just me and you It's overwhelming And here I stand Just a tired, broken man And I hope, I hope that someone Somewhere understands I try to do the best I can But nothing ever, ever Goes according to it's plan
