The second to last song off of Boys Like Girls’ Debut album, Broken Man is a declaration of understanding and moving on, while still being scarred by the events of the past. Martin Johnson has many songs of the same topic.
[Verse 1]
I wanna scream
Until no sound comes out and you've learned your lesson
I wanna swallow these pills to get to sleep
So I don't have to make a bad impression
[Pre-Chorus]
I need to start to be myself
'Cause I'm sick of everybody else
[Chorus]
I won't let you bring me down
It's here and now, I'm breaking out
I will learn to love again
But I will stand a broken man
[Verse 2]
I wanna run, but only far enough to make you miss me
I wanna take back all the shit that I have done
But I guess you were better off without me
[Pre-Chorus]
I need to start to be myself
'Cause I'm sick of everybody else
[Chorus]
I won't let you bring me down
It's here and now, I'm breaking out
I will learn to love again
But I will stand a broken man
[Verse 3]
I took one big step and I looked away
And then I thought of all the things that I wanted to say:
I'm always too late
You never got your story straight
I'm always up late
I think I'm everything you hate
I took one big step and I looked away
And then I thought of all the things that I wanted to say:
I'm always too late
You never got your story straight
I'm always up late
I think I'm everything you hate
I took one big step and I looked away
And then I thought of all the things that I wanted to say:
I'm always too late
You never got your story straight
I'm always up late
I think I'm everything you hate
[Chorus]
I won't let you bring me down
It's here and now, I'm breaking out
I will learn to love again
But I will stand a broken man
(I took one big step and I looked away, and I thought of all the things that I wanted to say)
I won't let you bring me down
(I'm always too late, you never got your story straight, I'm always up late, I think I'm everything you hate)
It's here and now I'm breaking out
(I took one big step and I looked away, and I thought of all the things that I wanted to say)
I will learn to love again
(I'm always too late, you never got your story straight)
But I will stand a broken man
