Broken Man
I know I told you
That I needed a little more time
To get her off my mind
I want to want you
But my heart is blind
Maybe someday I'll find
What I need
To leave the past behind
I can't expect you
To put your life on hold
So if you want to go
I will understand
I'm a broken man.
I did not think
It would hurt this much
I miss her smile
I crave her touch
I'm trying to be strong
But the road is tough
I wish that I could love you
But she means so much.
It's all my fault
It's out of your hands
So if you want to leave
I will understand
I'm a broken man.
The days are long
And the nights are cold
I'm reaching out for something
But there's no one there to hold.
My blood runs thin
Under my skin
I hate the shape I'm in
Will I ever love again?
I'm my own undoing
This is how the story ends
So if you want to walk away
I will understand
I'm a broken man.
I'm a broken man.

My sense here is that this too could use some trimming;
At times it seems the emotions of loss & pain are belabored,
Almost as though you're trying to convince a jury
Of the validity of the pain.
