Man Down Lyrics

Cover art for Man Down lyrics by Rihanna

I think this is about breaking up with someone or wronging somebody. When you really think about how badly you hurt someone sometimes it can be hard to "even sleep at night or "get it out of your mind."

The person you hurt may mean a lot to somebody else: "coulda been somebody's son."

Sometimes when you're so wrapped up in yourself or you've been hurt the way Rihanna has.. you can be careless with others hearts without even realizing it.
