A Man Like Me
Confessions of a Troubled Heart: Loving A Man Like Me
Lyrics
As the mornin' breaks and I crack my bloodshot eyes
Reflecting on the morning with tired eyes, questioning the challenges of life.
I wonder how much you can take of this kind of life
Contemplating the endurance required for the speaker's lifestyle.
With not a clue what I could say to explain myself again
Expressing difficulty in finding words to explain oneself.
I choose honesty as you come walkin' in
Choosing honesty as someone enters the scene.
I know it's so damn hard to love a man like me
Acknowledging the challenges of loving the speaker due to personal struggles.
As I tear apart all that I can see
Describing a destructive phase, tearing apart everything in sight.
And if I break your heart, I'll hate myself so deep
Fearing self-hatred if the speaker breaks the listener's heart deeply.
Cause it's so damn hard to love a man like me
Reiterating the difficulty of loving the speaker.
One day I'm a saint; the next I'm full of sin
Highlighting the inconsistency in the speaker's behavior, alternating between being virtuous and sinful.
Leavin' wreckage in my wake to build back up again
Leaving destruction behind but expressing a commitment to rebuilding.
And while it's true I've made mistakes, oh, time and time again
Admitting past mistakes, with the listener being a constant positive in the speaker's life.
You're the constant thing that I don't regret
Affirming that the listener is a constant and valuable presence without regrets.
I know it's so damn hard to love a man like me
Reiterating the challenges of loving the speaker.
As I tear apart all that I can see
Continuing to describe the speaker's destructive actions.
And if I break your heart, I'll hate myself so deep
Expressing deep self-hatred if the listener's heart is broken.
Cause it's so damn hard to love a man like me, yeah
Repeating the difficulty of loving the speaker.
Ohhhh
Indicating emotion with "Ohhhh."
I don't know what you saw
Expressing uncertainty about what the listener initially saw in the speaker.
When you chose me, I was so
Describing the speaker as broken down, lost, and loud when chosen by the listener.
Broken down, lost and loud
Recalling a turbulent past, screaming into the shadows.
Screaming into the shadows
Describing the current state of being owned by the listener.
Now I'm yours, and I'm sure
Expressing confidence in being worth the listener's struggle.
I must be worth the struggle, oh
Reaffirming the listener's worth by being with the speaker.
Cause I know
Assertion of knowledge regarding the difficulty of loving the speaker.
I know it's so damn hard to love a man like me
Reiterating the challenges of loving the speaker.
As I tear apart all that I can see
Continuing to describe the speaker's destructive actions.
And if I break your heart, I'll hate myself so deep
Expressing deep self-hatred if the listener's heart is broken.
Cause it's so damn hard to love a man like me
Repeating the difficulty of loving the speaker.
It's so damn hard
Affirming the ongoing challenge of loving the speaker.
