"No Man"

I've been on a tight rope walking

Never had a fear of falling down

Every step is more unsteady

I've never been so far from solid ground

I thought I saw you there to catch me

But now I look again, you're out of reach

There's nothing, no hands, no man for me

Tryin' to love across a minefield

Everywhere I look is no mans land

If you take a step then I will

It's harder when you don't know where you stand

I thought that you'd be there to meet me

But now I look again, you're out of reach

There's nothing, no hands, no man for me

But god, I was hoping

Hoping you might just heard the news

It's not like I'm broken

So what is it you're so scared to touch?

Why you always giving up?

Every time I think we're somewhere

Close to conversation, it's the same

You'd rather be alone and out there

And let me love a stranger with your name

Why can't you be better for me?

How come I've been seen and all I see

There's nothing, no hands, no man for me

Singing, nothing, no hands, no man for me

I know it takes time to heal

You never had no man for real

I know it takes time to heal

You never had no man for real
