I wrote The Man about a little French-Canadian girl who was so screwed up in the head from men doing her wrong that she was incapable of having any kind of normal relationship with anybody. It's not that uncommon.

The man who hurt her
well he tore her whole world apart
Now she'll never
love another because he tore out her heart.
And all that is left is a cold, dark, empty shell
She's living in her own personal hell
When I tell her
I love her,
She don't want to hear it again
She says that, I'll just hurt her
Just because I'm a man.
Now how can I show her that I'm not to blame?
When she says all men are the same.
Well she tells me
That she wants me
Then she can't get past the past.
She says that,
She's so afraid that she's frozen in her tracks.
Now all I can do is to keep on keeping on
Hoping that she'll get over what he done wrong.
