I once knew a man, like any other, just trying to make it
Only looking out for number one
Pushed everyone away with every word he said, couldn't help it
Closed doors and crawled through windows 'til bars were put on them
Put his wants before his needs
Others' needs he didn't want
Finally cried out when he saw everyone was gone
"Oh!
Brother, what have you done?
Mother, I'm on my own
Lover, where did you go?
Daughter, my how you've grown
I'm a man alone
Alone with no one to blame
No one to subject to the embarrassment of my tirade
No excuses, nothing to say
Forced to deal with the all choices that I have made
I can only watch from a distance how everyone's moved on
I dug a burrow where I can hide away and never show my face again
I think you'd be happier that way
If life has taught me anything
Is that I was a young and selfish man
I thought I'd learned my lesson then but this is now
Throwing sticks and stones never got me anywhere
What have we done?
I'm no use at all
I never meant hurt anybody"
I don't know that I'll ever see him again
Or if I have the place in my heart to forgive
"Brother, what have you done?
Lover, where did you go?
I'm a man alone"
