I have tried
To forget what you put me through
While remembering the good in you
But I can't stand by
And knowingly neglect myself
While pretending like I don't need help
And so do you
But you won't admit it
You're bleeding through
And you can't even see it
A real man
Doesn't hurt the ones he loves
A real man
Doesn't do the things you've done
A real man
Doesn't care where you came from
Don't you see
That you're not one
Why must we fight
About everything
When all I wanna do is get some sleep
Stay while I take
Time to look you over
Before I get sober
And see
That I have to leave
You couldn't be
Enough for yourself let alone me
A real man
Doesn't hurt the ones he loves
A real man
Doesn't do the things you've done
A real man
Doesn't care where you came from
Don't you see
I had to do it
I had to do it
I had to do it
I had to
I had to do it
I had to do it
I had to go and leave you because
A real man
Doesn't hurt the ones he loves
A real man
Doesn't do the things you've done
A real man
Doesn't care where you came from
Don't you see
Don't you see
That you're not one
A real man
Wouldn't try to change his lover
A real man
Wouldn't try to change my colors
