lyrics

JUST A MAN (4:05) I don’t know what to say. I don’t know what to do with agony. I don’t know who to be anymore, nor what to make of what you’ve left of me. There’s not a damn thing I see, since you blew the candle, and closed your heart, and kept the key. I don’t know where to look baby, since you set your sights on the lights of “Love” in Sin City. I’m not a monster, but I’m no angel either. I’m just a man, it’s all I’ll ever be. You just saw the anger, when my love was so much (infinitely) brighter. You stole your words away without weighing how the void would creep inside of me, without giving me the time of becoming who I was about to be. You put your love to shame, pulled the carpet under this heart of glass for all to see. So why do I love you all the same, when my broken pieces are laid out at your feet? I’m not a monster, not an angel either. Just a heavy heart under too much stormy weather. I’m the Love that shines brighter than a hundred thousand suns. My little white angel left my side, gone to float on a shady cloud. But when it comes down where will you hide? There won’t always be that crowd. My guardian angel left my shoulders, and now only dances in my dreams to the ungrateful song of another world... Waiting for you to fall, to cut your wings, and show you the door.
