I'm sorry that I'm not the man you thought I'd be
A suit and tie, a 9 to 5, that ain't the life for me
You told me it's a dead end
How I'm chasing sunken dreams
Do you know your words the final nail
In the coffin that is me
Oh you break me up and tear me down till you finally agree
To tolerate the man inside of me
How can you be the ones who taught me
To love without fearing pain
How can you be the ones who showed up at my games,
Not minding if I didn't play
And I'm still the same kid
Right down to my roots
I'm asking you what's changed now
Cause it's not the same from you
No, it's not the same from you
It's not the same from you
It's not the same from you
I know it's hard for you
To see it how I do
I want so badly to
Make you proud of who I am
I'm reaching out for you
Show you just what I do
I want so badly to
Make you proud of who I am
I'm staring at the ceiling
Tryna catch my breath
Fighting off the feelings
But I swear must confess
There is a voice inside my head
And it's louder than the rest
Saying you'll never be good enough
For us
How can you be the ones who taught me
To love without fearing pain
How can you be the ones who showed up at my games,
Not minding if I didn't play
And I'm still the same kid
Right down to my roots
I'm asking you what's changed now
Cause it's not the same from you
No, it's not the same from you
It's not the same from you
It's not the same from you
I know it's hard for you
To see it how I do
I want so badly to
Make you proud of who I am
I'm reaching out for you
Show you just what I do
I want so badly to
Make you proud of who I am
How can you be the ones who taught me
To love without fearing pain
How can you be the ones who showed up at my games,
Not minding if I didn't play
I'm still the same kid
Right down to my roots
I'm asking you what's changed now
Cause it's not the same from you
