Man on Stage

I am the man on stage slurring your favourite songs Making up a few of the words as I go along Taking the edge off of me Is a necessity, when I'm singing these words that I no longer mean I am not a poet, I'm a broken heart And though you didn't dispute it, I don't really play the part I am not dishonest, I'm a lost detail Leaving out the good words to hide my trail I am not singing this to comfort you Though my words aren't daggers, I'm just telling the truth That I am not a poet, I'm a broken heart And though you didn't dispute it, I don't really play the part I am not a poet, I'm a broken heart I am not a poet, I'm a broken heart I am not a poet, I'm a broken heart I am not a poet, I'm a broken heart
