Broke down at the end of the night
|
Can't seem to get anything right
|
So numb I can't feel things anymore
|
Somehow could feel me letting go
|
|
I know there's so many things
|
That I need to do and I need to say
|
No matter how hard I try
|
I can't get the words out right
|
|
Man down, tie a ribbon around my soul
|
I'm in the black and I'm out of control
|
Like a ship that's lost in the night
|
With no direction or guiding light
|
|
Man down and I'm drowning in the pain
|
Face down like a needle in the vein
|
You're the only thing that keeps me sane
|
But somehow I can't keep you out of my rain
|
|
I see you standing in the rain
|
|
The lights in the city feel so bright
|
All these colors I've got inside
|
And in these streets I feel like a foreigner
|
All I paint is myself in a corner
|
|
Going on seems to hurt so much
|
All the world seems so cold to the touch
|
When I go to sleep I don't dream
|
I just see a blank television screen
|
|
Man down, tie a ribbon around my soul
|
|
I'm in the black and I'm out of control
|
Like a ship that's lost in the night
|
With no direction or guiding light
|
|
Man down and I'm drowning in the pain
|
Face down like a needle in a vein
|
You're the only thing that keeps me sane
|
But somehow I can't keep you out of my rain
|
|
I see you standing in the rain
|
|
Tie a ribbon for the child in me
|
On every door and on every tree
|
Make it black for the way that I feel
|
'Cause black is the only color that's real
|
|
Man down, tie a ribbon around my soul
|
I'm in the black and I'm out of control
|
Like a ship that's lost in the night
|
With no direction or guiding light
|
|
Man down and I'm drowning in their pain
|
Face down like a needle in a vein
|
You're the only thing that keeps me sane
|
But somehow I can't keep you out of my rain
|
|
I see you standing in the rain
|
|
Broke down at the end of the night
|
Can't seem to get anything right
