Half the Man

I’m barely breathing

I’m giving more than I’m receiving

The more I stay, the more I’m feeling like a thief

No pretending

I’m like a story with no ending

I’m full of doubt, but I’m suspending all belief

Am I half the man you thought I’d be?

‘Cause it takes twice as much

To be tied up and still be free

I’m not a poet

And there’s nothing noble or heroic

Just searching for one honest moment I can stretch

Into a lifetime

And if I search, maybe I might find

Where heart and soul, body and my mind are attached

Am I half the man you thought I’d be?

Sometimes the pain is such

That I can hardly even breathe

Am I half the man you thought I’d be?

‘Cause it takes twice as much

To be tied up and still be free

Am I half the man you thought I’d be?

Sometimes the pain is such

That I can hardly even breathe

But I still believe…

That I can love you

That I could be the one you run to

There’ll be nobody who can undo what we’ve done

Never-ending

With a love that’s still ascending

So cathartic and so cleansing

To be transparent and transcending

Like two voices when they’re blending into one

Am I half the man you thought I’d be?

Am I half the man you thought I’d be?
