No, it's not how you wanted it
But don't be what you're not
Take all the time you need to sit with it
Get to a safe spot

You took the blame
'Cause you think it fits
That's all we've been taught
What was the need you were needing then?

You tried to meet it
But got a little lost
You tried to meet it
But got a little lost
You tried to meet it
But got a little lost

(I mean, this is a person who claims that he's tough)
(And all this, but he is just paper thin)
(Light the gas)

We'll take a room for the night
We'll meet our maker if we go outside
He's lurking
My best guess, it was a lie
The true test will be when you pry
A little more for more fumes
Oh, won't you?

It won't do so
Forget it now
Letting the fear lead a life

(So humiliating)
(You know perfectly well how you imagine things)
(Don't say that)

(A momentary criticism or even not enough praise sends him off)
(Into one of these abusive cycles we've had to deal with)

One of the guys
With truck nuts on his ride
Taught, bought pride

We'll take a room for the night
We'll meet our maker if we go outside
He's lurking
My best guess, it was a lie
The true test will be when you pry
A little more for more fumes
Oh, won't you?

He's a big boy

(So often that that overcompensation of strength and abuse)
(Is actually a reaction to insecurity, or personal fear)
(Or sort of feeling that they're out of control themselves)

He's a big boy
What a big boy now
One around

'Cause you didn't know how to
'Cause you never been taught to
And you're never gonna know how
If you're never gonna want to

He's a big boy
What a big boy
He's a big boy now
One around
Yet all around

Lurking

There's a big boy
There's a big boy
There's a big boy now

Aren't you proud?
