Damn me to hell
If I give up on trying
I don't care if I'm healthy
Sick or dying
Yes I do have moments
Where I catch myself crying
But how can I grow
If I continue to hide it?
Its been too many years
In this isolation
It takes the grips of life
To start a conversation
Why does every task
Feel like an obligation?
We never lose our love
We just lose our patience
What kind of man am I
If I don't tell my story?
I guess that I'm just afraid
That you'll think I'm boring
I'm either working a job
Or in the studio recording
I thought that all of this
Would feel a little more rewarding
Holding onto my sheets
Like they're another person
I've been looking in the mirror
For a better version
My mind is lazy
And my heart so urgent
Do we ever reach a balance
That's close to perfect?
I'm not sure
If it always works the way we plan
But I won't waste another minute
Trying to understand
There's other things I need to know
In order to be the man
We want me to be
Please believe me when I say
I really think we'll be okay
Did you ever think the problem might be you?
It's not what we wanna hear
But half the time it's true
You may not know
Exactly what to do
In that moment
But if you hold on
To what you still have
You can find your way through
You're a human
So you're always gonna make mistakes
You'll stay a victim to your fear
If you don't stare it in the face
Don't glance to the sides
Just stay at your own pace
And one day
You'll step into your grace
I'm not sure
If it always works the way we plan
But I won't waste another minute
Trying to understand
There's other things I need to know
In order to be the man
We want me to be
Please believe me when I say
I really think we'll be okay
