[Intro]
[Low trembling baritone]
[Dark ambient hum]
[Rain and distant thunder]

I used to think a good heart
Could carry anything...

Now my hands shake trying to hold together
A life already falling apart...

Trying to figure out where I disappeared...
Somewhere between trying to save everybody...

And losing myself...



[Verse 1]
Lost my best friend in the dead of the night
Still hear his laugh when the world goes quiet

Got a broke-down truck sitting rust in the rain
Like God left my whole damn life in pain

I been staring at this ceiling for hours...
My best friend’s number still sits in my phone

Sometimes I almost call when I’m driving alone
Then it hits me like a knife through the chest

Ain’t nobody there now on the other end
Steam rising up while the cold wind blew

And I just sat there with my hands on the wheel
Thinking maybe that's exactly how I feel

Boss man said I lost my spark
Truth is... I been drowning in the dark

Showing up late with these dead tired eyes
Running on guilt and sleepless nights

I kept saying “I got you” to everyone hurting
Till my own soul started closing the curtains

Tried to be everything people needed me to be
Now there ain’t enough left of me for me

[Pre-Chorus]
I swear I never meant to hurt nobody
Never meant to become this man

But every time I reached to help somebody
Pieces of me slipped through my hands

And God...
I swear I never meant to fail them
Never meant to become this weight

[Chorus]
I'm a broken man with a good heart bleeding
Holding on while the whole world’s leaving
There just wasn't enough of me to go around
Now every road I walk feels haunted now

I wear regret like rust on steel
Quiet pain nobody else can feel
I ain't the man I dreamed I'd be
Just shattered pieces talking back to me

[Verse 2]
Mama used to say “Boy, don’t carry it all”
But I thought real men never let nobody fall
Now I got people hurting with my name on their lips
Because I stretched myself thin till my whole soul ripped

Some nights I sit in the dark by myself
Looking at pictures up on the shelf
Thinking about all the birthdays missed
All the moments gone I can’t fix

I wasn't chasing money or running around
I was just trying not to let people down
But somewhere in the middle of holding that line
I lost every fragile piece of my mind

And lately when I look in the mirror
I see a stranger slowly getting clearer
A tired man with hollow eyes
Still apologizing while he dies inside

[Pre-Chorus]
I never wanted to hurt nobody
Never wanted this kind of pain
But you can only pour from an empty soul
For so long before nothing remains

[Chorus]
I'm a broken man with a good heart bleeding
Holding on while the whole world’s leaving
There just wasn't enough of me to go around
Now every road I walk feels haunted now

I wear regret like rust on steel
Quiet pain nobody else can feel
I ain't the man I dreamed I'd be
Just shattered pieces talking back to me

[Bridge]
[Deep emotional delivery]

If heaven's listening tonight...
Tell my friend I'm sorry I survived this way
Tell the people I failed...
I loved them more than words could say

And if tomorrow finally comes
Maybe I'll find the strength somehow
To become the man I promised everyone
Before life beat me down


[Final Chorus]
I'm a broken man but my heart still beating
Even while this darkness keeps creeping
Trying to find some small piece of light
Inside these endless sleepless nights

If I hurt you... believe me I know
Every wound still cuts my soul
And every promise I couldn’t keep
Still wakes me up from what little sleep I get

[Outro]
[Long fading guitar reverb]
[Soft whispered doubles]

I tried...
God knows I tried...
There just wasn't enough of me...
To save everybody...
