Sound of a Broken Man

Oh, I can't tell nobody

But I can't breathe a word

About the way you treatin' me

I'm feelin' broke and hurt

I reach out in the quiet night

A silence I just can't stand

But how can you hear

The sound of a broken man?

I still don't know what happened

The rug yanked from under me

One day, we were so in love

Next day tragedy

I call and you won't answer

I just don't understand

I blame it all

On the sound of a broken man

Let me tell you a secret

Love is like a song

You gotta give it away to keep it

Sing it to yourself

Just don't make a sound

Guess I'll pick up the pieces

And try not to cut myself

Do just what damn pleases you

Don't need nobody else

I know I've made some big mistakes

I know I ain't part of your plan

But how can you stand

The sound of a broken man?

But how can you stand

The sound of a broken man?
