as much as some say a man aint supposed to cry
i believe those who say that only try.
to understand what a real person is
and those who dont know think theyll learn from a quiz
over the top, sensitivity is heightened,
emotions dont stop.
not a freak with no clue
of what it means to say i love you.
sure i have my faults, i am damaged as well
that doesnt mean im destined for a life in hell.
im man with a heart not a mind with no soul
i rejoice finding love...i dont drool for a hole.
but changing me is the way it must be
to others who look but dont really see.
i have heart i have morals i have pain i have joy
in no way a monster nor a whipping boy.
all the words you have said might not mean much to you
but youre not the one being emotionally sued.
never did i tell you to be someone else
never did i say "thats bad for your health".
i did say i loved you but not so refined
i know my emotions i do speak my mind.
if that wasnt true i wouldnt do what i do or say what i say
and you told me you loved me before you asked me to change.
maybe im crazy...a lunatic clown
but i think it was you who asked "why not tone it down?".
if i said that to you would it make things any clearer?
or would you tell me "go take a look in the mirror."?
