I can't tell nobody
I can't breathe the word
'Bout 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
What came 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'll blame it all on the sound of a broken man
Let me tell you a secret
Love is like a song
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 that pleases you
Don't need nobody else
I know I made some big mistakes
I know I ain't part of your plan
But how can you stand the sound of a broken man?
How can you stand the sound of a broken man?
