A Lesser Man Than Me

It’s understood
You don’t feel good,
I’ve seen it in your eyes,
I’ve heard your alibis,
And I fully understand,
I’m part of the problem,
Because I’m your loving man.
I’m not leaving,
That’s not what I do,
I’ll stand here solid as a tree,
Because leaving you
Is for a lesser man than me.
It hasn’t been a very good year
For me as well,
To be honest with you,
It’s been a living hell.
My job, I know now,
That’s where I am going to stay,
I’ll never be a big shot,
I’ll never lead the way.
I’ll just be one of those
Who fell between the cracks,
Fall between the holes,
Sometimes I just want to go away,
In fact, I think about it each and every day.
But I’m not leaving,
That’s not what I do,
I’ll stand here solid as a tree
Because leaving my job and you
Is for a lesser man than me.
To be truthful,
The years have worn me thin,
I’ve been knocked down a hundred times
But managed to get up again,
My body has been bruised
And my mind is frail,
Sometimes I feel I don’t have a clue
But I’ve run life’s hard roads,
And stuck on them like glue.

But I’m not leaving,
That’s not what I do,
I’ll stand here solid as a tree,
Because leaving everything
In my life behind
Is for a lesser man than me.
