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 now know
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
Fell 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
 
I’m not leaving
That’s not what I do
I’ll stand here solid as a tree
Because leaving you
And not loving you
Is for a lesser man than me
