Hey man I don't want to hear about love no more I don't want to talk about how I feel I don't really want to be me no more Dress down now I look a little too Boy next door Maybe I should try to find a downtown whore That'll make me look hardcore I need you to tell me what to stand for I've been looking for something Something I've never seen We're all looking for something Something to be Hey man Play another one of those heartbreak songs Tell another story how things go wrong And they never get back My pain is a platinum stack Take that shit back You don't want to be me when it all goes wrong You don't want to see me with the houselights on I'm a little too headstrong Stand tall I don't want to get walked on I can't stand what I'm starting to be I can't stand the people that I'm starting to need There's so much now That can go wrong And I don't need somebody Trying to help it along It's the same old song Everybody says you've been away too long Everybody want to take you what went wrong want to make you like an icon Till you believe that they're right
