Do you know the part in the story
The hero in the hospital
Feeling the weight of his wounds
It brings me such a strong feeling
I long to be there
Helping him plan his next moves

When we met we were falling at about the same rate
And sometimes it felt just like flight
Now I act like I'm lonely though I'm only just alone
I know you know that's not right

Parting in love is so hard to do
At least now I'm learning the way
To wake up in the morning and feel like a man
If only a sad man
If only a poor man
If only a weak man
If only a fool of a man
Of a man
Of a man

Here comes my buddy just to tell me that:
"Love should last a lifetime"
But my wife doesn't feel the same way
For in a love just one day long
There is a life of song
And more days of love on the way
After so much heartache
You can't help but accept
Everyone shares the same Soul
And as you part with your lover
Go get right with God
For where else could love really go
Where else could love really go when it dies

Parting in love is so hard to do
At least now I'm learning the way
To wake up in the morning with joy in my heart
For I'm but a poor man
Born in a strange land
I'm but a weak man
Born in the land of lost love
