I wake up every mornin’ with the same ol’ ache
Whiskey on my breath and a head I can’t shake
Mirror shows a man I barely even know
A heart full of hurt and a mind gone cold
Tried to pray it away, but the silence is loud
These demons I’m fightin’ don’t sleep or back down
I’ve been runnin’ in circles, just tryin’ to feel right
But I’m losin’ more pieces of myself every night
What’s worse for a man
A broken heart or broken mind
Both will wear a man down
It’s just a matter of time
One keeps you cryin’
The other keeps you numb
But neither one lets you
Outrun what you’ve done
Yeah, I’ve tried everything I can find
But I ain’t gettin’ better over time
I got friends I won’t call in a phone full of names
Nobody else should have to deal with my pain
The bottle don’t judge and the pills stay quiet
They just help me forget ’til the morning light
Tried lovin’ again, but I pushed her away
How can you give what you ain’t got today
She said, “You’re not the man you were back then,”
I said, “He’s buried under scars I can’t mend.”
What’s worse for a man
A broken heart or broken mind
Both will wear a man down
It’s just a matter of time
One keeps you cryin’
The other keeps you numb
But neither one lets you
Outrun what you’ve done
Yeah, I’ve tried everything I can find
But I ain’t gettin’ better over time
Ain’t lookin’ for pity, just tryin’ to survive
I still got a spark, but it’s barely alive
If you see me smilin’, it’s just a disguise
I’m hurtin’ like hell behind these tired eyes
What’s worse for a man
A broken heart or broken mind
Both will wear a man down
It’s just a matter of time
One leaves you haunted
The other leaves you blind
But together they’ll break you
From the inside
I keep fightin’, but it’s a hell of a mountain to climb
And I ain’t gettin’ better over time
