Fix what’s broken

(Verse 1)

My body aches, fingers go numb,

Back is sore, knees won’t run.

I can fix a house, a car, a truck,

Pretty much anything if I got the luck.

(Pre-Chorus)

Some men can’t do it all, but me, I pretty much can,

I’m a man of trades, I build with my hands.

But when it comes to me, it don’t seem fair,

I can’t fix the pain that’s living in there.

(Chorus)

I could fix what’s broken, turn the hurt to right,

Tighten every bolt, make it hold tonight.

But I can’t mend this body, can’t patch this skin,

I just keep fighting the pain I’m in.

(Verse 2)

Allergies burn, they take their toll,

Feels like rust working through my soul.

If I could change the parts, trade them out new,

I’d build myself stronger, just like I do.

(Pre-Chorus)

Some men can’t do it all, but me, I pretty much can,

I can fix the world, but I can’t fix this man.

Got a wrench in my hand, but it slips on the pain,

Wish I could rebuild myself again.

(Chorus)

I could fix what’s broken, turn the hurt to right,

Tighten every bolt, make it hold tonight.

But I can’t mend this body, can’t patch this skin,

I just keep fighting the pain I’m in.

(Bridge)

If there’s a cure, I ain’t found it yet,

But I’ll keep on working, no time for regret.

I can fix the world with these two hands,

Still learning how to fix the man I am.

(Outro)

Yeah, some men can’t do it all, but me, I pretty much can,

Still I’m breaking down, more than I planned.

If I could heal myself, I’d do it today,

Till then, I’ll fight the pain away.
