THIS BROKEN MAN THAT’S ME

First Verse

I guess I should be grateful
That she walked out on me this way
A simple note left on the dresser
Read, “there’s nothing more to say”

Now I’m reflecting in the mirror
Trying very hard to see
Just what went wrong, and how I’ll carry on
Without her standing next to me

Chorus

And what I see
Is a broken man that’s me
My life and image have been torn apart,
And I’m lost in the debris

Like shattered glass, I’m now in pieces
And it’s oh so clear to see
That part of me is missing
Without her standing next to me

Second Verse

We never had the blowup
That’d been brewing for awhile
She just bit her tongue and held things back
As has always been her style

Now I’m wishing we’d had had it out
With a chance to clear the air
As I stare into the mirror
Wishing she was still standing there

Chorus

‘Cause what I see
Is a broken man that’s me
My life and image have been torn apart,
And I’m lost in the debris

Like shattered glass, I’m now in pieces
And it’s oh so clear to see
That part of me is missing
Without her standing next to me

*******

Yes, what I see
Is a broken man that’s me
My life and image have been torn apart,
And I’m lost in the debris

Like shattered glass, I’m now in pieces
And it’s oh so clear to see
That part of me is missing
Without her standing next to me

Part of me is missing
Without her standing next to me
