The Man Who Forgot Himself

(Verse 1)

He wakes before the sun can rise,

Another day, another sacrifice.

He’s holding others, making them whole,

But slowly losing his own soul.

His hands are tired, his heart is worn,

But he’s the shelter through the storm.

A quiet hero, no one sees,

He’s drowning in their endless pleas.

(Chorus)

He gives and gives, but never takes,

Building lives while his heart breaks.

Carrying the weight of the world,

For every boy and every girl.

But where’s the man in the mirror’s smile?

He’s lost himself in love’s denial.

(Verse 2)

Everyone calls, they all need his hand,

And he never says no, he takes a stand.

But when his own world falls apart,

No one is there to mend his heart.

They take his strength, they take his time,

Leaving him empty, left behind.

The echoes of silence are all he hears,

Alone with the weight of his hidden tears.

(Chorus)

He gives and gives, but never takes,

Building lives while his heart breaks.

Carrying the weight of the world,

For every boy and every girl.

But where’s the man in the mirror’s smile?

He’s lost himself in love’s denial.

(Bridge)

Doesn’t he deserve a little peace?

A quiet moment, a sweet release?

To chase a dream, to claim his time,

To live a life that’s truly his design.

(Outro)

But he still wakes before the sun,

Carrying burdens for everyone.

His dreams remain a distant shore,

He wonders if there’s something more.

A quiet hero, without applause,

Forever bound by others’ cause.

The man who gives, the man who bends,

Still waiting for his story’s end.
