Boy & Bear - Man Alone lyrics

I woke up this morning with ribbons in my bed I could not remember how they had got there Just the warmth of someone's body gone My body's aching, my mind it cannot rest My thoughts are vacant, there's a rattle in my chest Too old to be playing these games again I was hoping to change just I never did And now I'm kicking the cage to get rid of it Hands full of splinters the timber in my skin And you'd probably hate it, but I am used to it I cannot fake it but I do Held down in some late night bar Where the pretty girls know who you are Trying to find your heart in all those hopeless faces And I was hoping to change just I never did Now I'm kicking the cage right in front of it I'm so sick of the rage, I can't get rid of it I'm with nobody to blame I'm in the thick of it And I walk as a man alone So what you chasing I think it's no going right I guess you'd learn it in time You're out of time Don't do anything So won't hand me the reins for the thrill of it You see I got what it takes just to handle it Won't you tell me I'm great I'm in need of it It's not a question of blame so stand in front of it And I walk as a man alone Oh I walk as a man alone No I walk as a man alone
