Be a Man Songtext
von Elderbug

Falling down but I′ve got to catch myself
To make sure that you never leave
I'm on a mission to keep it locked and shut
Cause I don′t want you without
Me

I'm afraid to fly
And I'm afraid to be alone
And I′m afraid to die
And it chills me down to the bone

Just push those thoughts
Into the back of your head
Don′t pay 'em no mind
Or
You′ll never get out the bed

Dust yourself off man you're dead
Kiss everything you love goodbye
The city lights look so pretty but they won′t let you sleep tonight
The city girls look so pretty but they won't let you sleep tonight


You′re yelling for me to get out
Deaf ears cling to every scream and shout
And I can't seem to find relief
Just a fish swimming backwards in a dying reef

I'm afraid to be unloved
Sometimes I just need a hug
I′m afraid that I
Push myself so much sometimes

Now push those thoughts
Into the back of your head
Don′t pay 'em no mind
Or
You′ll never get out the bed

Dust yourself off man you're dead
Kiss everything you love goodbye
The city lights look so pretty but they won′t let you sleep tonight
The city girls look so pretty but they won't let you sleep tonight

Breaking, breaking
My back is breaking, breaking
From all the load
You got to learn to carry
You got to carry the weight


Aching, aching
My bones are aching, aching
From all the load
You got to drown on your own
Boys will be boys we all know

Boys will be boys

Dust yourself off man you′re dead
Kiss everything you love goodbye
The city lights look so pretty but they won't let you sleep tonight
The city girls look so pretty but they won't let you sleep tonight
