Strength, I never had much strength

When it came to loving him

Change, I don't do well with change

Can't decipher what is real

I failed to show you how I truly feel

And now you're going, and I can't deal

So stay, for me

What do I know?

I'm a make believer

I'm a tyrant

But I'd treat you right this time

You, you always take the punches

You accept it as it comes

And I am good when I am good

But when I'm bad, I'm overbearing and I know

You do the best you can

Hardly feeling like a man

[Chorus]

Throw me down, hit my face, break my back

'Cause I can take the physical pain

Belittle me in front of a crowd

Tell 'em I'm only really half of myself

when they're around

Tell 'em I'm even scared of the dark,

I stay up all night

With the weight of the world on my shoulders

Tell 'em I hold the pain of a girl that never was real

A girl that you, you never even knew

Oh, I guess I've really done it

You won't look me in the eye

No, don't tell me that it's over

I won't cry, but I will wither up inside

And never be the same

And I'm the only one to blame

[Chorus]
