As I Try Not To Fall Apart

[Verse 1]
Am I a faulty kind of man, so tender in the heart?
Are clues embedded in my hands, or horoscope or cards?
No, Im no special grain of sand or undiscovered star
If theres a great and holy plan Id rather have no part
[Pre-Chorus]
Aint that the way, aint that the way
You always unwind my head, unmake the bed like Sunday
Aint that the way, aint that the way
You get me talking to the dead and questioning if Im alive at all
[Chorus]
Why every morning waking up
Must I try not to fall, must I try not to fall apart?
You take me in your grateful arms
And I try not to fall, oh I try not to fall apart
Its not the way a man like me behaves
Its not the way the world would have me play my part
Then why does every fibre shake
As I try not to fall, as I try not to fall apart?
[Verse 2]
Am I a low and lacking man, no shimmer to my soul?
Am I a spindle wound too tight, a fraction of a whole?
No, Ive no party tricks, my hand is empty as a vault
If theres a charge, oh then Ill stand and do the time for every fault
[Pre-Chorus]
Aint that the way, aint that the way
You always unwind my head, unmake the bed like Sunday
Aint that the way, aint that the way
You get me talking to the dead and questioning if Im alive at all
[Chorus]
Why every morning waking up
Must I try not to fall, must I try not to fall apart?
You take me in your grateful arms
And I try not to fall, oh I try not to fallapart
Its not the way a man like me behaves
Its not the way the world would have me play my part
Then why does every fibre shake
As I try not to fall, as I try not to fall apart?
[Bridge]
Aint that the way, aint that the way
You always unwind my head unmake the bed like Sunday
Aint that the way, aint that the way
You get me talking to the dead and questioning if Im alive at all
Why every morning waking up
Must I try not to fall, must I try not to fall apart?
You take me in your grateful arms
And I try not to fall, oh I try not to fall apart
Its not the way a man like me behaves
Its not the way the world would have me play my part
Then why does every fibre shake
As I try not to fall, as I try not to fall apart?
[Outro]
As I try not to fall apart
As I try not to fall apart
As I try not to fall apart
As I try not to fall apart
