I left my head at home Buried in the backyard with the dog I've thought of leaving more times than once I'm leaving you all alone I tried so hard to be the rock But all I felt like was a wet sponge I want to run, I just can't The things it takes to be a man I'm on a road I'm not proud of the things I have done Don't let my living bring you down You'll never know how much it hurts to nod when I'm the son I'll never stand and watch you drown I'm under a spell This isn't what I want for us We've held it all together this long My spines deep as well My heart is bigger than you know This family is just a sad song I want to run, I just can't The things it takes to be a man I'm on a road I'm not proud of the things I have done Don't let my living bring you down You'll never know how much it hurts to nod when I'm the son I'll never stand and watch you drown
