Lyrics

Broken Man

[Chorus Intro]

Now I am a broken man

Now I am a broken man

Now I am a broken man

Now I am a broken man

[Verse 1]

It's no good being here with me

I'm a little scared of the things you see

It's no good having friends at all

They do me no good, they don't do me no good at all

It's no good living in the past

It's no good at all you know it don't last

It's no good making a change

There's nothing to change I don't want to rearrange

[Pre-Chorus]

But what I wanna do is spend some time with you

But I know I can't because all you want is you

[Chorus]

So now I am a broken man

Now I am a broken man

Now I am a broken man

I am a broken man

[Verse 2]

I saw my shadow on the wall

It looked at me then left me

I'm hoping somebody will call

But I hope they don't come and get me at all

[Pre-Chorus]

Because what I wanna do is spend some time with you

But I know I can't because all you want is you

[Chorus]

So now I am a broken man

Now I am a broken man

Now I am a broken man

I am a broken man

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Now I am a broken man

Now I am a broken man

So now I am a broken man

Now I am a broken man
