If I ever start to lose my way
I hope a love like yours would keep me grounded, oh
Can't leave it up to you, my girl
I can't keep it all inside
Hold me close before I lose control

I know a man should never shed his tears
But I'd be lying if I said that I have no fears
It sometimes makes me weep through the night
Forgive me just this once
These crying eyes I cannot hide

Well, I'm trying as hard as I can
And I'm trying to be a man
I'm trying to stay steady and strong
But my weakness will carry on
These days and these nights
I find it so hard to be a man

And lately I don't feel so fine
I've got words trying to play and unravel my mind
Please, get them out of here
I gave it everything that I've got
But this state of mind's got me so distraught

Well, I'm trying as hard as I can
And I'm trying to be a man
I'm trying to stay steady and strong
But my weakness will carry on
These days and these nights
I find it so hard to be a man

Well, I'm trying as hard as I can
And I'm trying to be a man
Trying to stay steady and strong
But my weakness will carry on
These days and these nights
I find it so hard to be a man
These days and these nights
I find it so hard to be a man

These days and these nights
I find it so hard to be a man
