I've been waiting all night long,

I've been waiting to sing your song,

Tonight, if you help me,

Just help me find your key.

I run my hands down your neck,

Across your back to another fret,

I know you're fragile, bound to self destruct…


I can see right through your skin,

Your bones are hollow, they're paper thin.

Tonight, you're weightless,

I know the way you feel…


So try

Try lifting all your weight

For a man

A man gone wrong.

And try

Try wasting all your days

On a man

A man like me


My love is a lot like yours,

It's been crippled by the wars we wage, 

We're hopeless, we're on the losing side.

We never speak when we're making love,

You never mean it when you come to me,

With your arms stretched,

Defenseless and alone.


So try

Try lifting all your weight

For a man

A man gone wrong.

And try

Try wasting all your days

On a man

A man like me.


I taste you on my fingers

And I smell you on my lips

I don't know where you're going

But you're going to slip

Hey honey better save yourself

You're never gonna make it

Hey honey, honey better save yourself

You're never gonna make it


So try

Try lifting all your weight

For a man

A man gone wrong.

And try

Try wasting all your days

On a man

A man like me
