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
