Half Ton Man

I made an observation yesterday
How you took your life and through it all away
Used to be so determined, so gifted
I guess that's all in ruin
You had so much potential
How did you lose control
You had so much potential
How did you lose control
Half-ton man

You're the half ton man

A man with a plan
From long ago
A man with a dream
That's now a joke
Half-ton man

You're the half-ton man

A man who went from a lot to none
Now his self-pity weighs a ton
Your life is as sad as a dying sparrow
You ran for the target but forgot the arrow
Now you sit around all day
Eating yourself into a grave
Remember when you played football
You said you wanted to go pro
The injury trashed your dreams
And you never let it go
You had so much potential
How did you lose control
You had so much potential
How did you lose control
Half-ton man

You're the half ton man

A man with a plan
From long ago
A man with a dream
That's now a joke
Half-ton man

You're the half-ton man

A man who went from a lot to none
Now his self-pity weighs a ton
Today several men
Had to lift you out of your bed
After the family intervention
You have consented to treatment
I'm so happy for you
And I hope you conquer this
Cause just the other day
You talked about cutting your wrists
Half-ton man

You're the half ton man

A man with a plan
That was stolen
A man with a dream that's so broken
Half-ton man

You're the half ton man

A man who needs to value himself
And know it's okay to get help
Half-ton man

You're the half ton man

A man with a plan that was stolen
A man with a dream that was taken
Half-ton man

You're the half ton man

A man who needs some self-esteem
And realize he is worth something
