[Verse 1]

Your father's words still in my head

They're awful, you're a good boy, he said

I know you like a soldier, a son that I never had, never had

Did he say that to me?

[Chorus 1]

I need to prove myself, I need to prove my word

I need to prove that my mistakes can be reversed

I hurt you

Can't deny that

[Verse 2]

I can't explain my debts

Any more than I can read your mind

You want me to be real, you want me to divide

The truth from the lies

[Chorus 2]

I need to be a man, don't need to be cruel

I need to be yours

I hurt you

Can't deny that

[Bridge](x2)

I hurt you, I hurt you

I hurt you

I need to be a man

Can't be without
