Disappointments weigh so heavy leave its wreckage all around Once a good man once respected sorrow breaks a good man down Had a good love had a good life now the sadness all around Dread the darkness hate the daylight sorrow breaks a good man down I remember all the good times when the world was ours to flame Then she left me took the sunshine every night wind speaks her name Can't stop loving can't stop living there's no answer to be found No ambition just existing sorrow breaks a good man down [ guitar ] I remember all the good times... Sorrow breaks a good man down
