Andy Shauf The Man On Stage song lyrics

I am the man on stage slurring your favorite songs. Making up a few of the words as I go along. Taking the edge off of me

Is a necessity when I'm singing these words that I no longer mean.

I am not a poet, I'm a broken heart

And though you didn't dispute it, I don't really play the part.

I am not dishonest, I'm a lost detail

Leaving out the good words to hide my trail.

I am not singing this to comfort you

Though my words aren't daggers, I'm just telling the truth

That I am not a poet, I'm a broken heart

And though you didn't dispute it, I don't really play the part.

I am not a poet, I'm a broken heart.
