Confessions Of A Broken Down Man Lyrics - Singles - Waterdeep

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
