[Verse 1]
Oh you're a good man
But you're breaking my heart
You smile for the camera
While you're falling apart
Drowning your sorrows
But they'll learn how to swim
Deals with the devil
You know you'll never win
[Pre-Chorus]
Daddy you tried to be fearless
Daddy you tried to be strong
But still you keep your head up high
Trying to do the things that a good man should
[Chorus 1]
Oh you've been too strong for too long
You've been too strong for too long
Drop that stiff upper lip, go on loosen your grip
Baby come on let me in
[Verse 2]
f** what they told ya
Cry a river for me, yeah
Put down your sword love
Wear your heart on your sleeve
[Pre-Chorus]
Daddy you tried to be fearless
Daddy you tried to be strong
But still you keep your head up high
Trying to do the things that a good man should
[Chorus 1]
Oh you've been too strong for too long
You've been too strong for too long
Drop that stiff upper lip, go on loosen your grip
Baby come on let me in
[Chorus 2]
Oh you've been too strong for too long
You've been too strong for too long
You've got clouds in your sky, and I'll share yours with mine
Baby come on let me in
[Bridge]
Fist fights late nights
Trying hard to fill whats in your heart
And running and hiding
From your shadow gets tiring
But still
You keep your head up high
Trying to do the things that a good man should
[Chorus 1]
Oh you've been too strong for too long
You've been too strong for too long
Drop that stiff upper lip, go on loosen your grip
Baby come on let me in
[Chorus 2]
Oh you've been too strong for too long
You've been too strong for too long
You've got clouds in your sky, and I'll share yours with mine
Baby come on let me in
