Half the Man

Half the man I used to be

I'm not half the man I used to be
When I was young the bar was high
But so was I
Sky high

Then one day they raised the bar
And I could only look-on from afar
Look out at that guiding star
which burned so bright it left a scar

I’m not half the man I used to be
Everything was given me
I used to see
That I was we
That we were all one bloody big family

In a world that does not care
The wounds laid bare
So many in despair
Where? Where? Where?

I'm not half the man I used to be
But can't you see
It isn't me
The world has changed around me

First
There was just me
And I would fling around my emotions and hurt or please the world
Then it was me and her
And there was a little less of me

Then one day, out of me and her cam him
And I spent most of my time being there for them

Then there was her and him and her
And she took my heart,
locked it up and threw away the key
And there was nothing
but her and him and her and me

Much less of me
O can't you see
I'm not half the man I used to be,
because I share the man I want to be
with my amazing family
It isn’t that there’s less of me,
In many ways there more to see,
But as I got older, the world did change around me

And I’m still me, whatever that may be

Thank You
