Look at this empty face,
Look at this broken frame
I have been no other place
And you know Ive heard no other name.

How can you keep me so?
How can I let it go?
I look the worst that youve ever seen
Is it too much to ask what thats supposed to mean?
Youve been playin around and I played the part
Of a broke-down man with a busted heart.

Reach out a hand and see
What you have made of me
Take a good hard look and then
Close your eyes and
Ask yourself again

How can you keep me so?
How can I let it go?
You know that I would go anywhere
That I could go in my old wheelchair
Though I wouldnt get far til it fell apart
Im a broke down man with a busted heart.

How can you keep me so?
How can I let it go?
You know my state as you hear my song
Youll change your mind if I live that long
Couldnt start it again
Nothings left to start
But a busted man with a broke-down heart.
