How do I be a man?
How do I be a man about this?
I haven't been that good
I have never been that good with time
How do I tell you that this is good?
Can I convince you that this is for the best?
I can't take the stairs right now
In fact right now I can't take much at all
I sit down
This weight falls round my feet
I shouldn't have waited til my hand was forced
I should've not put off this divorce
Nothing I can do about that now
It's not your fault
But I've had you outlined in chalk for some time
I met you on the lawn
I met you on the lawn to say "Goodbye"
II.
There is much guilt in this release
There is much guilt in this release
I looked at the numbers and you were the better friend
And I swear I'll never break another heart again
I can't shake these visions at all
I can't shake these visions at all
I pulled back the trigger and left a pulpy mass of red
Oh Lord, next time won't you please take mine instead
I know we will be better off
I know we will be better off
But right now that doesn't comfort, right now I'm not at ease
Oh Lord, next time won't you please take mine please
And I swear I'll never break another heart again
