A Broken Man

Walking out around the woods

Watching sunsets all alon

I know you'd be here if you could

I know you think that you should.

But I don't think I'm good for you.

.

It's not that I don't love you,

God, how much I do

I can't even go for a day without you.

So I don't know if I'll pull through.

But I know I'm not a good man,

And I know I'll be bad for you.

.

Be careful, I'm fragile.

Leave me, I'm worthless.

I've had my heart broken before.

Be careful, I'm tired,

Leave me, I'm toxic

I'm not the man you I wish I was.

.

I think of all the nights we'd share,

Staying up, just lying there.

My body resting next to yours,

Listening to your gentle breaths,

Dreaming of us on distant shores.

.

I want these dreams to never end

I want to stay right here, forever.

But I know with every minute I'm here

I hurt you, just a little more

.

Be careful, I'm weary

Leave me, I'm jealous

And I know that I'll never compare

Be careful I'm broken,

Heart twisted open

And I don't know if I can love you

The way that I should
