Oh my rough edges are now smoothed by the grit of this town
Lead from the rubble
Rebuild from the sticks and the leaves
Oh, I'm kept, but I ain't clean
Learning how to run this fragile machine
Well I believe in preservation,
And yes, it's fun to protect
Don't you know? Don't you know?

That I am unfinished
You sound a half made man
And I need your forgiveness
To feel whole again!

Just scraps from the floor
Propped up castin' shadows around
Looking for trouble, though she ain't easy to please
Where is my missing piece?
Live long and lean tattooed and serene.
Yes, she's worth the work
Don't you know? Don't you know?

That I am unfinished
Yes I am a half made man
And I need your forgiveness
To feel whole again!

All of these words and the promises
They're only as good as the man.
And I ain't gonna let you down like I did before
Cause I ain't finished yet, yeah!

Oh, I am unfinished
Cause I am a half made man
And I need your forgiveness to be fixed
To feel whole, to be complete again!
