HIVE OPEN MIC WEEK 115 (Doing The Work) | Dean Lewis - Half A Man Cover By @menoski

Good day everyone. This is my first ever Open Mic performance. I haven't done HIVE OPEN MIC all these while, because I don't think I have good singing voice. But this week theme, "Doing The Work" encouraged and kind of motivated me, to give it a shot. I hope I tried a bit.

Today, I will be performing a Dean Lewis song, titled Half A Man. This song is quite unique and the lyrics are touching. It's a story of a man who loves a lady, but is struggling in life and doesn't think he's worthy of her love. Quite a good song and a lovely lyrics. Enjoy!!!

Lyrics

I was wrong to say I loved her
I was wrong to think I'm right
But when I told her it was over
My darling I had lied
I've been running from my demons
Afraid to look behind
I've been running from myself
Afraid of what I'd find

But how am I supposed to love you
When I don't love who I am
And how can I give you all of me
When I'm only half a man
'Cause I'm a sinking ship that's burning
So let go of my hand
And how can I give you all of me
When I'm only half a man

And now I'm stuck in this hotel room
By a cold neon light
I've been waiting for an answer
But it won’t come tonight
And every bottle I have stolen
Lay shattered on the floor
What's broken can't be whole, anymore

But how am I supposed to love you
When I don't love who I am
And how can I give you all of me
When I'm only half a man
'Cause I'm a sinking ship that's burning
So let go of my hand
And how can I give you all of me
When I'm only half a man

No one can ever hurt me
Like I hurt myself
'Cause I'm made out of stone
And I'm beyond help
Don't give your heart to me

How am I supposed to love you
When I don't love who I am
And how can I give you all of me
When I'm only half a man
'Cause I'm a sinking ship that's burning
So let go of my hand
And how can I give you all of me
When I'm only half a man. Source
