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
