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
