broke down and busted

look at this empty face

look at this broken frame

i have been no other place

and you know i've heard no other name. how can you keep me so?

how can i let it go?

i look the worst that you've ever seen

is it too much to ask what that's supposed to mean?

you've been playin' around and i played the part

of a broke-down man with a busted heart. reach out a hand and see

what you have made of me

take a good hard look and then

close your eyes and

ask yourself again

how can you keep me so?

how can i let it go?

you know that i would go anywhere

that i could go in my old wheelchair

though i wouldn't get far 'til it fell apart

i'm a broke down man with a busted heart. how can you keep me so?

how can i let it go?

you know my state as you hear my song

you'll change your mind if i live that long

couldn't start it again

nothing's left to start

but a busted man with a broke-down heart.
