I am the man on stage slurring

Your favourite songs

Making up a few of the words

As I go along

Taking the edge off of me

Is a necessity when I'm singing these words

That I no longer mean

I am not a poet I'm a broken heart

And though you didn't dispute it

I don't really play the part

I am not dishonest I'm a lost detail

Leaving out the good words to hide my trail

I am not singing this to comfort you

Though my words aren't daggers

I'm just telling the truth

That I am not a poet I'm a broken heart

And though you didn't dispute it

I don't really play the part

I am not a poet I'm a broken heart

I am not a poet I'm a broken heart

I am not a poet I'm a broken heart

I am not a poet I'm a broken heart
