The Steel

Lyrics written by, and music created by Joe Kirk. Copyright 2025.

Made more mistakes than the average man.
I can still look you in the eyes though.
Scars on my body.
The ones on my heart.
Just had a problem with letting go. 
She didn't though.

The fighter on the outside.
He said he never lost.
His heart lost every fight though.
He learned to feel the cost.
Melted away her frost.
It just took so many days.
Days he would welcome back.
If he could only change her ways.

A man will fight until he can't no more.
A woman like you.
Ringside.
Yes, he can hear you.
His soul he can bleed through.
Give him something he can feel too.

I knew a man who broke himself into many pieces.
It was hard to see.
No real friends it seemed.
Bet his life felt like a dream.
His eyes still had a fire.
I couldn't believe.

Love will come and love will go.
Yes in her eyes but she still says no.
Never wondering how.
A good soul knows.
Tying her up.
Using broken ropes.

Years fly by, you know how the song goes.
Hearts shut like old church doors.
Life in a dry town.
Where never a wind blows.
Flesh and bones.
Humming forgotten songs.
Only the broken know.

I turned my back to God today.
Another of the many.
Mistakes that a man will make.
Trying to be fake.
Thinking he will make it.
He won't make it to anywhere.

I told her more than once my love was true.
I must have used a language she never knew.
Ran past my soul.
Left it torn in two.
I am hurting, how about you?
Do you even know there is blood and soul everywhere. 

The fighter on the outside.
He said he never lost.
His heart lost every fight though.
He learned to feel the cost.
Melted away her frost.
It just took so many days.
Days he would welcome back.
If he could only change her ways.

I don't really know if I spent my life.
I just want to feel real.

I knew a man who broke himself into many pieces.
It was hard to see.
No real friends it seemed.
Bet his life felt like a dream.
His eyes still had a fire.
I couldn't believe.

I want to show the world I am alive.
Went missing for a while.
I am still here.
Check my vital signs.
Somebody please.
I don't really know if I spent my life.
I just want to feel real.

Made more mistakes than the average man.
I can still look you in the eyes though.
Scars on my body.
The ones on my heart.
Just had a problem with letting go. 
She didn't though.

I don't really know if I spent my life.
I just want to feel real.

Her brown eyes set down on me.
Conquering who I thought I might be.
I give up easily; show her I can bleed.
Can I give her all she needs.

Made more mistakes than the average man.
I can still look you in the eyes though.
Scars on my body.
The ones on my heart.
Just had a problem with letting go. 
She didn't though.

I don't really know if I spent my life.
I just want to feel real.
