I can't hide myself
I don't expect you to understand
I just hope I can explain, what it's like to be a man
It's a lonely road
And they don't care 'bout what you know
It's not 'bout how you feel, but what you provide inside that home
Real man is what you make it
You can't always live up to expectation
You try to please everybody while you struggle, so you fake it
And end out of balance, comprising situations
As a good man huh, do what you should man
I'll give everything he has, and do everything he could, men
You migt find yourself feeling all alone
Inside the house you built that you don't recognise as home
And thats what my daddy told me, and I'll tell my son the same
Now that I'm older, I relate and I actually feel his pain
He never cried, he might have lied but he did not complain
And he son, said oneday you'll have to do the same
I get emotional when I stop and thinking, I look around
Be on the county line of my small town
I think about all the men out there who feel like I do now
Who are screaming on the inside, but won't never make us proud
I can't hide myself
I don't expect you to understand
I just hope I can explain, what it's like to be a man (what is like to be a man)
It's a lonely road (its a lonely road)
And they don't care 'bout what you know (care 'bout what you know)
It's not 'bout how you feel, but what you provide inside that home
Don't give up, keep fighting, as a man our son is our horizon
And our father's action play a role and we end up like 'em
So they can't let us see them hurt, 'cause we'll embody what they do
And start a generational curse
No wonder most men are so depressed
All the things that they can't express
They go to war, get thrown on the shelf
Then go back to war with a mental health
Then grab that bottle and ask for help
Try to pull themselves out of hell, then fall back down and
Then realize that they gonna have to do it themselves
It's the circle of life, as a man you provide
They don't know what you worth
Till the day that you die and that's when they start crying (oh)
Then move onto a man to confine them
That's why we feel we can't hide ourselves (we can't hide ourselves)
We don't expect you to understand (oh understand)
We just hope we can explain (we can explain)
What it's like to be a man (oh, what it's like to be a man)
It's a lonely road (It's a lonely road)
And you don't care 'bout what we know (care 'bout what we know)
It's not 'bout how we feel (how we fell, how we feel)
But what's we provide inside that home (inside that home)
ย
That home (that home)
It's not 'bout how we feel (not about how we feel)
But what's we provide inside that home (inside that home)
