In my troubled sleep my hands reach out to touch you
But you're no longer there to greet my hungry hands
Then I wake up and I cry out in the darkness
And wonder how much more of this my heart can stand
A man can stand so much hurtin'
I've stood a lot that's for certain
But without your love I'm bound to lose my mind
I've cried so much I hurt all over
The breakin' forty's gettin' closer
There's a limit and I've almost reached mine
Once I had my pride and called myself a strong man
But my strength and pride walked out the door with you
Now this awful aching hurt keeps tearing at me
It's k**ing me to think of you with someone new
A man can stand so much hurtin'
I've stood a lot that's for certain
But without your love I'm bound to lose my mind
I've cried so much I hurt all over
The breakin' forty's gettin' closer
There's a limit and I've almost reached mine
There's a limit and I've almost reached mine
