Tim Angsten - Shadow of a Man Lyrics

I had her in my arms but could not take her
Knew she wanted more but could not make her
Show me the love I wanted her to
He took her from me like a thief in broad daylight
Should had said something but nothing came to mind
I guess it just wasn't my time but I can't get it out of my mind

I'm a shadow of a man
Even when I do the best I can
Couldn't come in first man
Even if I wanted to
I'm always dealt a losing hand
And I don't ever make a stand
I'm a shadow of a man
A shadow of a man

She left me cuz I'm always out on the grind
Put in ten hours six days at a time
There's others getting paid more than their share
I haven't got a raise in eight long years
And the boss don't give a damn
But when he calls there I am

I'm a shadow of a man
Even when I do the best I can
Couldn't come in first man
Even if I wanted to
I'm always dealt a losing hand
And I don't ever make a stand
I'm a shadow of a man
A shadow of a man

I know I should
Stand up for what is mine
And say the words
That I say in the back of my mind

I'm a shadow of a man
Even when I do the best I can
Couldn't come in first man
Even if I wanted to
Lord I can't make it through
I'm praying what can I do
