Strength, I never had much strength  When it came to loving him  Change, I don't do well with change  Can't decipher what is real  I failed to show you how I truly feel  And now you're going, and I can't deal  So stay, for me  What do I know?  I'm a make believer  I'm a tyrant  But I'd treat you right this time  You, you always take the punches  You accept it as it comes  And I am good when I am good  But when I'm bad, I'm overbearing and I know  You do the best you can  Hardly feeling like a man  [Chorus]  Throw me down, hit my face, break my back  'Cause I can take the physical pain  Belittle me in front of a crowd  Tell 'em I'm only really half of myself  when they're around  Tell 'em I'm even scared of the dark,  I stay up all night  With the weight of the world on my shoulders  Tell 'em I hold the pain of a girl that never was real  A girl that you, you never even knew  Oh, I guess I've really done it  You won't look me in the eye  No, don't tell me that it's over  I won't cry, but I will wither up inside  And never be the same  And I'm the only one to blame  [Chorus]
