To Be a Man Lyrics

We carry the weight

Of the ones we love

But who stands beside us

When the going gets tough

Emotions get locked away

Behind a mask of pride

The pressure keeps on building

Deep inside

We're expected to be a team

But not when we cry for help

We're left to face the world alone

With the hand we've been dealt

The world neglects us

Where did it go wrong

Our emotions doesn't matter

That's why we end up gone

I didn't make the choice

Of who I was born to be

It seems that my existance

Is the worst part of me

I know where it came from

But I can not understand

When did it become a sin

For me to be a man

The need to provide

To be the rock

To keep it all together

Who gives a fuck

The stress and the strain

Take their toll

And the fear of failure

Is a heavy role

Life is a battle

And everyone has issues

But some of us get judged

When we reach for the tissues

Every day is a war

With constant rejection

Battered and broken

We leave the wrong impression

I didn't make the choice

Of who I was born to be

It seems that my existance

Is the worst part of me

I know where it came from

But I can not understand

When did it become a sin

For me to be a man

What happens when

We can't be strong

What if we break

Will we still hold on

Do we dare to show

Our weakest side

Will it be seen as weakness

Will it change the tides

I didn't make the choice

Of who I was born to be

It seems that my existance

Is the worst part of me

I know where it came from

But I can not understand

When did it become a sin

For me to be a man

All around the world

We fall like flies

We are cast aside

And replaced with Pride

We get stepped on

And seen as scum bags

Sadly the good ones

Are thrown out like dirty rags

It's all so easy

To put the blame on a man

It's considered violent

When we take a stand

They never acknowledge

The mental abuse

Nothing's done about it

Cause you're the one who's used

I didn't make the choice

Of who I was born to be

It seems that my existance

Is the worst part of me

I know where it came from

But I can not understand

When did it become a sin

For me to be a man

Why is it a sin

To be a man
