Broke down at the end of the night 
Can't seem to get anything right 
So numb I can't feel things anymore 
Somehow could feel me letting go 

I know there's so many things 
That I need to do and I need to say 
No matter how hard I try 
I can't get the words out right 

Man down, tie a ribbon around my soul 
I'm in the black and I'm out of control 
Like a ship that's lost in the night 
With no direction or guiding light 

Man down and I'm drowning in the pain 
Face down like a needle in the vein 
You're the only thing that keeps me sane 
But somehow I can't keep you out of my rain 

I see you standing in the rain 

The lights in the city feel so bright 
All these colors I've got inside 
And in these streets I feel like a foreigner 
All I paint is myself in a corner 

Going on seems to hurt so much 
All the world seems so cold to the touch 
When I go to sleep I don't dream 
I just see a blank television screen 

Man down, tie a ribbon around my soul 

I'm in the black and I'm out of control 
Like a ship that's lost in the night 
With no direction or guiding light 

Man down and I'm drowning in the pain 
Face down like a needle in a vein 
You're the only thing that keeps me sane 
But somehow I can't keep you out of my rain 

I see you standing in the rain 

Tie a ribbon for the child in me 
On every door and on every tree 
Make it black for the way that I feel 
'Cause black is the only color that's real 

Man down, tie a ribbon around my soul 
I'm in the black and I'm out of control 
Like a ship that's lost in the night 
With no direction or guiding light 

Man down and I'm drowning in their pain 
Face down like a needle in a vein 
You're the only thing that keeps me sane 
But somehow I can't keep you out of my rain 

I see you standing in the rain 

Broke down at the end of the night 
Can't seem to get anything right
