What's Left Of Me

(album: Unwanted Man - 2022)

Yeah, I was really something
Once upon a time
I was proud and loud, bold as solid gold
Back when she was mine
But then life went and did
What life so often does
Ain't it strange people change, broken hearts rearrange
It just is what it was

And all my castle walls fell down
And my very last bridge has burned
And you know damn well that dam's gonna bust
From these hard lessons learned
Maybe I should set you free
I don't see the man you think you see
Are you sure your love is enough
To love what's left of me?

Mirror, mirror on the wall
I hardly recognize myself
Where's that one-of-a-kind kind of a guy
In that picture on the shelf?
Now there's grey on my collar
Hard lines written on my face
Even when I'm at home, I feel all alone
So out of place

All my castle walls fell down
And my very last bridge has burned
And you know damn well that dam's gonna bust
From these hard lessons learned
Maybe I should set you free
I don't see the man you think you see
Are you sure your love is enough
To love what's left of me?

And all my dreams have derailed
And there's no going back
Do you think you can put this train wreck of a man
Back on the track?

All my castle walls fell down
And my very last bridge has burned
And you know damn well that dam's gonna bust
From these hard lessons learned
Maybe I should set you free
I don't see the man you think you see
Are you sure your love is enough
To love what's left of me?
Are you sure your love is enough
To love what's left of me?

Yeah, I was really something
Once upon a time
I was proud and loud, bold as solid gold
Back when she was mine
