"Diary" lyrics - NICK HEYWARD

Diary of a broken heart
Torn into a thousand pieces
Now take it from the very start
When life was still a bed of roses

Come on, come on, come up and read it
Come on, come on, believe what you can
Come on, come on, come on and read it
The diary of the lonely-hearted man

A trail of broken dreams laid down
When kindness was another story
At first it was the perfect world
But now you've nothing to show for it

Come on, come on, come on and believe it
Come on, come on, believe what you can
Come on, come on, come on and read it
The diary of the lonely-hearted man

Why could you never see
That I was half the man I wanted to be?
To be free to succeed, to be rich enough to believe
If I wanted to, I could conquer
It's the only way I could see
To beat this world

With everything so calm and still
You fall into a world of splendor
So cool it gives your heart a chill
Maybe you closed the door on how to surrender
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
The diary of the lonely-hearted man

Why could you never see
That I was half the man I wanted to be?
To be free to succeed, to be rich enough to believe
If I wanted to, I could conquer
It's the only way I could see
To beat this world

Come on, come on, come up and read it
Come on, come on, believe what you can
Come on, come on, come on and read it
The diary of the lonely-hearted man
