[Verse 1]

You can wait for the perfect moment but I say we’re in it

And I’ll take all the punches I’m thrown if it’s what I should do

I want to be good

But saying I do doesn’t make it true

[Pre-Chorus]

As if repeating my questions

And shrugging off suggestions

Ever got me far

[Chorus]

Boys to the back and men to the front of the room

And if you feel like you’ve got something missing

You probably do

I know that acceptance comes first

And if I want to change then I’ve gotta work

Just cause I say I do doesn’t make it true

[Verse 2]

Courage is an acquired trait

So we've got to admit that

We appreciate gained strengths

But now we're not nice to look at

I've always thought that I knew

But saying I do, doesn't make it true

[Pre-Chorus]

As if excusing my actions

And well-timed nervous laughing

Ever got me far

[Chorus]

Boys to the back and men to the front of the room

And if you think that you've got something missing

You probably do

I know that acceptance comes first

And if I want to change then I've gotta work

Just cause I say I do, doesn't make it true

[Bridge]

My pride and I have sinned enough for a lifetime

I’ll take him to the lake and I’ll drown him

Like I never found him

So I can apologize

I’ll fish him out when I know that it’s alright

And I can trust myself to be applying him carefully

Why do I think I’m always right?

[Pre-Chorus]

As if excusing my actions

And well-timed nervous laughing

Ever got me far

No it never got me far

[Chorus]

Boys to the back and men to the front of the room

And if you think that you've got something missing

You probably do

I know that acceptance comes first

And if I want to change then I've got to work

Just cause I say I do, doesn't make it true
