Lirieke: Waterdeep. Confessions of a Broken Down Man.

These are the confessions of a broken down man

She said she needed a father
So I faked fatherhood and drew her in
I don't know if it was intended
Maybe something broke inside of me
A long long time ago
And it never has been mended

But one night on my bed
She told me something
That she never told nobody
But I just laid there cold as a stone and stared

These are the confessions of a broken down man

I had a baby by my first wife
She was wanting one and I gave in
I swear I loved her and our home
But a man has got to work to live
And sometimes he can find himself
Out on the road alone

And when I came back home
She's holding, baby
But I can't remember for the life of me
What is his name?

These are the confessions of a broken down man

I give up, I give in
I can't do this anymore
I've been turned out by my family
I have heard them slam the door

Like a wounded man out on a hill in the wind
Saying Father, forgive me
Father, forgive me, Father, forgive me
For I have sinned
