I was too nice, I gave too much.
I let them inside too soon.
Still too delicate, ignorant and trusting.
Kept nothing for myself,
gave it all away before i knew what I had.
One day, I looked down,
and my empty hands held and empty heart.
Cradling what once was full.
I gave it away too soon,
before I knew what I had.
Before I knew what I had too offer,
I offered it away.
Changed now, my hands reflect and defend.
Skeptical of your sincerity.
Everything is fake.
I have nothing else to give.
I can't even take.
Can't even feel,
your hands reaching out.
I've built a thicker wall, around my battered heart.
Trapped inside,
Now I'm alone.
The goodness has been taken,
picked through and picked over.
You took it all away too soon.
Before I even knew what I had,
Before i knew what I had to offer,
I looked inside, and it was gone.
Changed now, a heart of stone.
Cold and alone.
Flooded with memories of the hurt that I felt,
when my hands were still full,
and my heart was still open,
....and I had everything to give.

Sad, though. For what it's worth, time heals.
Stephen Lynch - Half A Man
All my days,
I live with my disgrace
I'm afraid to show my face
Or at least take off my underwear...

like a half-way neutered pet
I don't have a matching set
It's a part of me that, just ain't there please don't stare...

I'm like uncle ben with only one grain of rice
oh to have two testes would be so nice
But I'm half a man
Yeah, I'm half a man
Wanna die, and all just call it quits
I can't find a cup that fits
and at baseball games,
i feel so dumb when i hear, ball one..
Oh my god, how could you have been so cruel
To give me one family jewel
And the one that's there must feel so sad
He's a lonely nad
Well I'm a marathon runner with just one leg
I'm a fallopian tube with just one egg
Oh I want another teste do I have to beg
or be Half a man...

Well I'm a tweedle dee with no tweedle dum and I'm a siskel and Ebert with just one thumb..
