In the Shoes of a Broken Man

I can count my friends on one hand Yet my enemies are far and wide Is it because I don’t put any trust in man Or is it just my simple pride No one knows what really bothers me Yet they tell me they feel my pain If they only knew how hard it must be On the brink of going insane When day after day It seems to get Just a little bit harder to cope But what’s left when life’s full of regrets And you’re at the end of your rope God said that we would have problems And we must bring them to him in prayer But while we sit around wait for him to solve them Do you think that anyone else even cares I found that the more I try to carry on The more people try to bring me down And even though I am very strong I cry when no-one else is around It is as if I’ve given my all Well At least all that I can stand And my back is still against the wall And I’m standing in the shoes of a broken man
