Lyrics
I get tired of singing about my life
I wish I'd let it go, please grow up, and just move on
I get tired of my mind from time to time
because it's telling me the things I know, but everything I know is wrong
It's who I am
It's what I've done
And if she loves me
And if that really even matters
It's what I want
It's what I can't have
Logic says she won't be coming home
But my mind still roams
I get hopefully I'm coming out of this
And I will stand up straight, be a man, and take my hits
Then I think of the way we used to kiss
And I am nine years old, and shy as hell, nervous with my clammy fists
I am burdened by living with this thought
That a man is strong, A man is wise, true men have fought
The only thing I know to be is true
Is that a man will tell you anything if it means that he'll get close to you
