MAN DOWN Lyrics

I won't try to dance around it

I don't have the time

I know it's been hard to count in

You don't have to lie

I'm better on the outside than in

If your heart still ain't skipping a beat

They'll never listen

I'll give them the air to breathe

It's on the nights that I've been fired up, you're tired yeah

Don't think I'd ever make you see it like I would

I used to be the man down what's next

Tell my hometown I made it

Write my name on the checks

When we go out I'm paying

For all the days I've spent

I'm getting far in my head

Why all the stressing? I know that I'm better

Always greener on the other side tell me but I know

I've gotten used to cutting ties

Used to be alone

And my momma told me every time people come and go

I'm tired of staying inside and fighting on my own

I thought about quitting twice, yeah ain't it nice

I hung em' thought you were right

So badly drained I ran away

All bottled up like lemonade

You're cold as ice, sharp like a knife

Said "not enough" but never tried at all

(At all, yeah)

Oh how I wish we could go there

Tell me what you want

And I bet you didn't know that we've been on and off

I know we're going nowhere, tell me what you want

You barely ever go back anymore

I used to be the man down what's next

Tell my hometown I made it

Write my name on the checks

When we go out I'm paying

For all the days I've spent

I'm getting far in my head

Why all the stressing? I know that I'm better
