The Man She Needs

I've got a train in the mornin'
I've got a pain in my soul
And she's got no sign or warning
That I am ready to go

And I've got a long list of reasons
Why I probably should stay
Like, all those late summer evenings
And all the love that she gave

But then, the platform's in view
We're in the hotel room and I hold her
And she knows it's over

And hearts will break in full tonight
And tears will stain her bloodshot eyes
As she will learn unwillingly
That I'm not half the man she needs

I've got a tour in October
I've got a show right by her place
I've got some things I wish I told her
But I know I should stay away

So I cry an ocean or two
They're in my hotel room, try to hold on
Don't make that phone call

And hearts will break in full tonight
And tears will stain her bloodshot eyes
As she will learn unwillingly
That I'm not half the man she needs

I've finally got the nerve to reach out
Thought I would give it one more try
She sends back a message and it reads out
"You broke me one too many times"

And hearts will break in full tonight
And tears will stain my bloodshot eyes
As I look in the mirror and see
That I'm not half the man she needs

The man she needs
