Adil Omar Broken Man lyrics

[Verse 1]

I've lived a life full of empty promises and broken dreams
And I know it seems a little obvious, I go to sleep
In a struggle, suffocated, breathe through a muzzle
If you reap what you sow, I'm receiving a fuck you
- I'm a boy but I age at a rapid rate
I'll stay insane til I lay in a placid state
So full of rage, all this hate, it exacerbates
I won't escape til I lay stiff, at my wake
Here's a cry for help, but I ain't dying yet
Cause on the outside, I'm live and well, though only time will tell
I cry and dwell on the inside, but look happy
The sad clown, I never open up and would gladly
Put on a game face, and close away this hate
Explains why I'm like a comedian in social situations
I'm alone and still amazed at how I keep on going
Cause I'm built to survive, I'm a beast in motion, motherfucker


[Hook]

I'm a broken man, but my will is strong
All my life I've been a lone wolf, baby, I'mma stay one 'til I'm gone

I'm a broken man, but I carry on
All my life I should have let go, baby, I'mma keep on holding on


[Verse 2]

I've loved and I've lost, without goodbyes or closure
I should cry, but won't, cause you'd see me as weak
And if I could try and hope for a little stability
I wouldn't cause it's so fricking outta my reach
I'm driving by on this lonely road; a bi-polar mess
To sum it up: the highest highs and the lowest lows
Cold as snow, yet I'm trying to find
A little love, but I should stop now, cause I know I won't
So fucking hardcore, I'm the raw deal
No drugs, so it makes the pain more real

So tough, rock hard, nothing can kill me
But fuck it, I'm a lost cause, nothing can fix me
Adil be, rocking, but the magical show ends
A lonely workaholic, sex addict with no friends
Or no end, to the path that I've chosen
Cause I'm so far gone, battered, shattered and broken, nigga


[Hook]

I'm a broken man, but my will is strong
All my life I've been a lone wolf, baby, I'mma stay one 'til I'm gone

I'm a broken man, but I carry on
All my life I should have let go, baby, I'mma keep on holding on


[Bridge]

I'm so far gone, reaching out with both hands
19 but I'm feeling like an old man
A pipe dream's what I've got in this life
And it's the only thing that keeps me going

It's just one of those nights, where I toss, turn, struggle and fight
With my inner demons, kill a beat and run with the light
For a moment, but then I'm left alone with myself
And it scares me to death, yo, and that's some real shit


[Hook]

I'm a broken man, but my will is strong
All my life I've been a lone wolf, baby, I'mma stay one 'til I'm gone

I'm a broken man, but I carry on
All my life I should have let go, baby, I'mma keep on holding on
