Half A Man - Tom Baxter

Thought that I’d truly found someone

Thought that the cause was unconditional

I thought that the games we played we had gone

With all of our consciousness

Woke up last night

In a sweat with fear

For I dreamt she’d returned

With everyone for me

But now I condone

That love for me

Was only trickery

She’s left me half a man

A broken man

A twisted man

If a man, is what I am

And so I return

To what I feared

You live life alone

With occasional compliments

Beware that with every heart of gold

It retains it’s currency

So if you believe

Loves cost is free

Then you’d call me a fool

To call it robbery

But I only know

That I once was whole

And now there’s

Half of me

She’s left me half a man

A broken man

A twisted man

If a man, is what I am

And she’s left me sleepless nights

Of wrongs, no rights

Only blacks, no whites

Only half a man

No, it can’t be over

Tell me it’s not over

It can’t be over

She’s left me sleepless night

Of wrongs, no rights

You see I’m a broken man

I’m a twisted man
