Waterdeep - Confessions Of A Broken Down Man lyrics

These are the confessions of a broken down man She said she needed a father So I faked fatherhood and drew her in I don't know if it was intended Maybe something broke inside of me a long long time ago and it never has been mended But one night on my bed She told me something that she never told nobody and I just laid there cold as a stone and stared These are the confessions of a broken down man I had a baby by my first wife She was wanting one and I gave in I swear I loved her and our home But a man has got to work to live and sometimes he can find himself out on the road alone And when I came back home She's holding baby But I can't remember for the life of me What is his name? These are the confessions of a broken down man I give up. I give in. I can't do this anymore I've been turned out by my family I have heard them slam the door I'm like a wounded man out on a hill in the wind saying Father, forgive me Father, forgive me Father, forgive me For I have sinned
