Lyrics

Only a man whose broken can appreciate the awful thing I feel
 Only a man whose world is always real can ever know
 And who could understand the all consuming pain
 Only a man whose weeping in the rain knows where to go
 And it's not easy
 When you realize that you are on your own
 No no, it's not easy
 When you face the thought of living all alone
 Only a man who wanders through the emptiness through every passing day
 This is the man whose eyes know what to see and what to say
 And who could ever know the feeling in my heart
 Only a man whose hopes and dreams are broken all apart
 And it's not easy
 When you reach out in the dark to touch a face
 No no, it's not easy
 When instead you touch a pillow in her place
 Na na na na na na na na
 Na na na na na na na na na na
 Na na na na na na na na na na
 Na na na na na na na na
 Na na na na na na na na na
 And it's not easy
 When you think about the way she combs her hair
 No no, it's not easy
 When the memory of her is everywhere
 Only a man who lies awake and wonders will he never smile again
 And this is the only man whose lonely nights can never end
 And if you want to know what kind of man he'll be
 Oh listen my friend I'll tell you all you'll have to know is me
 And it's not easy, no no, it's not easy
 Oh, it's not easy, why, no, why, well it's not easy
 No, tell me, no, no, no
