Shakes bad thoughts out of his head
As he smokes a dead man's cigarette

Can't bring himself to get out of bed
'Cause he likes the thoughts running around in his head, in his head

And he only loves what he can see
And he only wishes he could be
Half the man that others see
To love himself and let it be

Can't quench the thirst when you don't have the answer
Can't come out first when you're not the better dancer

Take it as you will and take it as you must
But who is she to say what fills your heart with lust, with lust

And he only loves what he could be
And he only wishes he could see
Half the man and let it be
To love the self that others see

And he only loves what he can see
And he only wishes he could be
Half the man that others see
To love himself and let it be
