"Man Down" lyrics
Yeah, yeah, uh
I've been down but I feel okay
Sun came out from a sky so gray
Haven't thought about her since last it rained
Thought we were forever but that's okay
And if I can't go back, why would I look that way?
And if you laugh like that, how could I let you stay?
How did it get this way? It's not like you hate me
I don't play when it comes to my lady
And I don't know what's going on lately
You said, "shut up," why don't you make me?
I can feel the gravity take me
Down a hole I know I'm never escaping
There's really no point trying to hide when
Everything I fear is trapped deep inside me
And so I'll go through emotions
Pretend I feel anything that isn't hopeless
Pretend it's a matter of staying focused
Life is a hard thing to face when it's broken
My heart's a hard thing when it's taken
Not the first time that I've been forsaken
I am not enough and I'll never learn to fake it
I need love but I only feel hatred
I'm never sleeping in with them but
I really hope that we never speak again
Why did I think this was more than just pretend?
[?]
I've been down but I feel okay
I'm not a bird but I'll make my way
I'm a free man going down by fate
I'll make my bed and I'll fly away
I've been down but I feel okay
Sun came out from a sky so gray
Haven't thought about her since last it rained
Thought we were forever but that's okay
Thought this music was forever but that's okay
Thought I saw a future but it's opaque
If I go back home, will I lose my way?
If I don't come home, would you think of me?
Or would you let me go?
Yeah, less than nothing if you lose me
I know I lost control
I'm so sorry that you can't still use me
So hurt me a little more then
It's nothing that you haven't done before to me
And don't you come around my door
We both had a million chances and I don't need any more, no
'Cause I remember who I am now
Better or worse, I'll be sticking to the plan now
Don't expect anyone to understand how
I've been doing better yet somehow I'm still the man down
And everything has been changing
Stuck to the script but I lost all the pages
I wanna know my whole self and embrace it
'Cause I know that this life can be amazing
It's really only what you make it
Trouble is I don't really know how to fake it
'Cause every time I wake up my bed's vacant
And every problem that I have is of my own making
I've been down but I feel okay
Sun came out from a sky so gray
I've been [?] I lost my way
On my own again, but that's okay
I've been down but I feel okay
Sun came out from a sky so gray
Haven't thought about her since last it rained
Thought we were forever but that's okay
And if I can't go back, why would I look that way?
And if you laugh like that, how could I let you stay?
How did it get this way? It's not like you hate me
I don't play when it comes to my lady
And I don't know what's going on lately
You said, "shut up," why don't you make me?
I can feel the gravity take me
Down a hole I know I'm never escaping
There's really no point trying to hide when
Everything I fear is trapped deep inside me
And so I'll go through emotions
Pretend I feel anything that isn't hopeless
Pretend it's a matter of staying focused
Life is a hard thing to face when it's broken
My heart's a hard thing when it's taken
Not the first time that I've been forsaken
I am not enough and I'll never learn to fake it
I need love but I only feel hatred
I'm never sleeping in with them but
I really hope that we never speak again
