You can wait for the perfect moment
But I say were in it
And Ill take all the punches
I'm thrown if its what I should do
I want to be good
But saying I do doesnt make it true
As if repeating my questions
And shrugging off suggestions
Ever got me far
Boys to the back and men to
The front of the room
And if you feel like you've got
Something missing
You probably do
I know that acceptance comes first
And if I want to change than Ive gotta work
Just cause I say I do doesnt make it true
Courage is an acquired trait
So weve got to admit that
We appreciate gained strengths
But now were not nice to look at
Ive always thought that I know
But saying I do doesnt make it true
As if excusing my actions
And well timed nervous laughing
Ever got me far
My pride and I have sinned enough
For a lifetime
Ill take him to the lake and Ill drown him
Like I never found him
So I can apologize
Ill fish him out when I know that its alright
And I can trust myself
To be applying him carefully
Why do I think Im always right?
