Lyrics to Half a Man



Thought that I'd truly found someone,

Thought that the cause was unconditional,

I thought that the games we played we had gone,

With all of our consciousness,

Woke up last night,

In a sweat with fear,

For I dreamt she'd returned,

With everyone for me,

But now I condone,

That love for me,

Was only trickery.



She's left me half a man,

A broken man,

A twisted man,

If a man, is what I am.



And so I return,

To what I feared,

You live life alone,

With occasional compliments,

Beware that with every heart of gold,

It retains it's currency

So if you believe,

Loves cost is free,

Then you'd call me a fool,

To call it robbery,

But I only know,

That I once was whole,

And now there's,

Half of me.



She's left me half a man,

A broken man,

A twisted man,

If a man, is what I am.

And she's left me sleepless nights,

Of wrongs, no rights,

Only blacks, no whites,

Only half a man.



No, it can't be over,

Tell me it's not over,

It can't be over



She's left me sleepless night,

Of wrongs, no rights,

You see I'm a broken man,

I'm a twisted man.
