lyrics

Have you heard the ballad of a broken man?
His dreams had been destroyed and he could barely stand
He always believed he only needed a plan
One day he discovered things were out of his hands

Don't know where he's going
He's lost his way
Don't know where he's going
He can't stay

He sits alone and thinks about what might have been
The life he could have lived but things unforeseen came along and deconstructed all his means
He's standing in the shadows of his broken dreams

Have you heard this ballad of a broken man?
His heart was held together by a rubber band
After several years he found he'd lost his soul
A downward spiral took him spinning out of control
