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.
I run my hands down your neck,
Across your back to another fret,
I know you're fragile, bound to self destruct…

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…

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

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.
We never speak when we're making love,
You never mean it when you come to me,
With your arms stretched,
Defenseless and alone.

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.

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

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.
