Bleeding Heart of a Broken Man

[Verse] I'm a shadow of the man I used to be. The brandy bottle brought me to my knees. The treatments left me weak, it's hard to stand. I'm scarred and alone, but a smart man still. [Verse] The whiskey whispers torment in my sleep. Fighting demons, memories I can't keep. Impotent strength, but my mind's razor sharp. Begging for mercy with a wounded heart. [Chorus] Oh, I love you, darling, but can't give you more. This bleeding heart is tired and sore. Just be my friend, hold my hand, In this broken, lonely, scarred man. [Verse] The nights are long, the days are just as cruel. The battles with my past, I play the fool. Clinging to the shards of what's left inside, trying to find peace in this rugged ride. [Bridge] It's hard to face the truth of who I've become. Weak and scarred, my body's come undone. But in the haze of pain, one truth stands clear, You're the only thing I hold dear. [Chorus] Oh, I love you, darling, but can't give you more. This bleeding heart is tired and sore. Just be my friend, hold my hand, In this broken, lonely, scarred man.
