Boy & Bear - Man Alone lyrics

I woke up this morning,with ribbons in my bed I could not remember how they had got there Just the warmth from someone's body gone My body's aching, my mind it cannot rest My thoughts are vacant, there's a rattle in my chest Too old to be playing these games again I was hoping to change, just I never did And now I'm kicking the cage, to get rid of it Hands full of splinters, there's timber in my skin You'd probably hate this, but I am used to it I cannot fake it, but I do Held down in some late-night bar Where the pretty girls know who you are Trying to find your heart in all those hopeless faces And I was hoping to change, just I never did Now I'm kicking the cage, right in front of it I'm so sick of the rage, I can't get rid of it And with nobody to blame, I'm in the thick of it - And I walk as a man alone So what you're chasing You think is noble and right I guess you'll learn in time You're not entitled to anything So won't you hand me the reigns, for the thrill of it You see I got what it takes, just to handle it Won't you tell me I'm great, I'm in need of it It's not a question of blame, so stand in front of it And I walk as a man alone, oh I walk as a man alone No I walk as a man alone
