Love a Broken Man

Do you have it in you to love a broken man?
Do you have the time for a man who's trying to be better than his past?
I was kicked while I was down, but will you help me to stand?
Do you have it in you to love this broken man?

Let me tell you about myself so it doesn't come as a shock
I'm trying to gain feelings again because I've became numb to what's lost
I became isolated after I had my arm extended and no one offered a hand
I'm trying to change my ways and be a better man

I come from a broken home and I need fixing
We can complete the puzzle because maybe you're the piece missing
I'm a working progress that needs a lot of Working on
I've got a lot of bleeding wounds so i cant pinpoint exactly where i'm Hurting from 

I've been stumbling drunk out of clubs at god knows what time
Just trying to cope with a broken heart and lost mind
Drinking most nights and waking up to a hangover for breakfast
I'm just trying to grow up and stop being young and reckless

I'm tired of the one night stands and meaningless flings
Before I fly again I need someone to help fix my wings 
I wonder if such a woman exists that can cope with this
Would she be able to fix my heart and give my scars a kiss?

Maybe one day I'll find out where this princess is at
Give me your all and I'll pay it with interest back
Every day I'm growing and trying to be better than I am
Do you have it in you to love a broken man?

Do you have it in you to love a broken man?
Do you have the time for a man who's trying to be better than his past?
I was kicked while I was down, but will you help me to stand?
Do you have it in you to love this broken man?
