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
