      DI'm (xx0232@1)a hard man to love



There's a dog house rose that God knows I didn't send soon enough
Sittin' in the middle of a crippled kitchen table barely standing up from 
where I kicked it once.
It ain't pretty enough to make up for me 
messin' up the only love a man could ever need
She shines forgiveness from her patient eyes
I don't see what they see in me

(Repeat Course)
