Hey Carroll,

Here's my take on your song: (as always, KOS)

Broken man

[verse]
My troubles started early
from the time that I was raised.
My father was abusive
my mother seemed unphased

[verse]
The drink brought out the worst in him.
I always lived in fear.
When that demon showed to beat my mother
I learned to disappear.

[pre chorus]
Mother's love for him was strong.
She could keep her secret well
I grew up in my father’s house
while my mother lived in Hell

[Chorus]
It takes a broken woman
It takes a broken woman
to love a broken man

[Instrumental break]

[verse]
Your mom and dad were addicts.
You were left alone for days.
An Uncle took you in
but he gave in to evil ways

[verse]
He said you would learn to love him
that you needed to obey
You played along until that time
you escaped and slipped away.

[pre chorus]
A part of you is dead inside.
It's not too hard to see
I know exactly what you’re feeling
and I'm sure we can agree

[chorus]
It takes a broken woman
It takes a broken woman
to love a broken man

[bridge]
Trust is gonna take some time
after all that we’ve been through
Love will not come easy
but I want to try with you

[Outro]
It takes a broken woman
It takes a broken woman
to love a broken man


Peace,

Dave
