VERSE 1
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
VERSE 2
I run my hands down your neck
I'll cross it back to another fret
I know you're fragile
You're bound to self-destruct
VERSE 3
And 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
CHORUS
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
VERSE 4
And 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
VERSE 5
You never speak when we're making love
You never mean it when you come
To me, with your arms stretched
Defenseless and alone
CHORUS
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
QUICK INTERLUDE (1 BAR)

BRIDGE
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
CHORUS
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
