Song Lyrics

I'll make the coffee, you'll pull up a chair
I've got a box of tissue somewhere
Yes, he's a fool, and no it's not fair
That he's looking to you for redemption

You're probably here 'cause you know I've been there
Caring about someone who doesn't seem to care
He runs to you when he's shattered and scared
Hoping that you're gonna change him

It don't make him bad
It don't make him wrong
He's a little bit lost, but he's not too far gone
You're trying to save him
And you don't know if you can
It takes a helluva lover to love a broken man

There must be a reason you're still hanging in
You can love the sinner but not love the sin
You might hate yourself when he does it again
What else can you do but forgive him?

It don't make him bad
It don't make him wrong
He's a little bit lost, but he's not too far gone
You're trying to save him
And you don't know if you can
It takes a helluva lover to love a broken man

He needs you now
Like somebody needed me
But I walked away from the good man he turned out to be
'Cause I didn't see

Oh, it don't make him bad
It don't make him wrong
He's a little bit lost, but he's not too far gone
You're trying to save him
And you don't know if you can
It takes a helluva lover to love a broken man
Broken man
Broken man, mm-hmm
