you don't get to feel, that's not how you were raised. look at what is real and not just in your brain. you don't get to cry it's time to be a man. just get up and fight, i know that you can.
i've spent all my life building up this shell. now i have to live in this one man cell. i want more than anything to let you in, but i was raised to push away feeling.
i can't love you the way that you need, i can't let you know the real me.
i can't love you the way that you need, i can't let you know the real me.
i've spent all my life without this love. now you're telling me that i have to jump. i want more than anything to hold your hand, but i was raised to be a man.
i can't love you the way that you need, i can't let you know the real me.
i can't love you the way that you need, i can't let you know the real me.
wipe away your tears she was just some girl. no reason to fear according to the world.
