[Verse 1]
Your father's words still in my head
They're awful, you're a good boy, he said
I know you like a soldier, a son that I never had, never had
Did he say that to me?
[Chorus 1]
I need to prove myself, I need to prove my word
I need to prove that my mistakes can be reversed
I hurt you
Can't deny that
[Verse 2]
I can't explain my debts
Any more than I can read your mind
You want me to be real, you want me to divide
The truth from the lies
[Chorus 2]
I need to be a man, don't need to be cruel
I need to be yours
I hurt you
Can't deny that
[Bridge](x2)
I hurt you, I hurt you
I hurt you
I need to be a man
Can't be without
