I’m not a tough man

[Verse] I ain’t a mountain I ain’t made of stone I’m a broken fence in a field alone The wind keeps howling the wood don’t bend I stand here waiting for the storm to end [Chorus] I’m not a tough man not by design I’ve just never had the option to resign The weight keeps falling the ground won’t flee I’ve just never had the option not to be [Verse 2] My hands are calloused my heart is thin The cracks keep showing where the pain gets in But you won’t see me drop my guard When the world’s a hammer you learn to be hard [Prechorus] But inside there’s a voice that pleads It’s buried deep but it bleeds [Chorus] I’m not a tough man not by design I’ve just never had the option to resign The weight keeps falling the ground won’t flee I’ve just never had the option not to be [Bridge] If I could choose I’d lay it down This heavy armor this jagged crown But life don’t ask it just demands So I keep fighting with trembling hands
