As I Lay Dying: If I Fall

I sing for the broken ‘cause I’m a broken man
I sing for the fallen because I am
I know what it is like to be abandoned
By those you thought were friends but never cared

I sing for the broken ‘cause I’m a broken man
Broken

The world’s version of honor
Is a man who won’t allow his friend to speak
Not a moment to consider
How someone might react to suffering

So convinced that judgement’s a superior view
Before allowing for compassion to leads us through
This era where we turn our backs on those who ask for help
Claiming moral ground with one foot in hell

I sing for the broken ‘cause I’m a broken man

If I fall, would you catch me or just leave me?
Or I am only there to serve you?
We fought through it all
Now I have found the strength to face
The storm

I sing for the fallen
Fallen

‘Cause only those who’ve fallen
Have seen who truly cares
Only those who have struggled
Have learned who hurts or helps

I am no stranger to pain
No stranger to having to start again
I thought there’d only be one rebirth
But it took more to find a life of worth

I sing for the broken ‘cause I’m a broken man

If I fall, would you catch me or just leave me?
Or I am only there to serve you?
We fought through it all
Now I have found the strength to face
The storm

I don’t want a place in society
If I have to call these cowards family

I sing for the broken ‘cause I’m a broken man
I sing for the fallen because I am
I sing for the broken ‘cause I’m a broken man
I sing for the fallen because I am
I know what it is like to be abandoned
By those you thought were friends but never cared
