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
