lyrics

Leave me a message
Give me a sign
Something to let me know we are fine
I’m not quite sure what started this fight
But give me a chance to make it all right

The story goes like this, a real cliché
A boy and a girl who fell in love one day
But was it the truth? Was it just one big lie?
The answer was clear, but it was always denied
Time would go by, and things would be less bright
The couple would struggle, and they’d always fight
The boy would give in, and it was always the same
Then they’d make up, and start all over again

Just be nice, be a gentleman
It’s what you were taught way back then
Leave that ego at the door
Then he said out loud

The story changes now, no big surprise
The boy couldn’t handle this, he’d realized
The smile he wore, although it looked so real
Was only an image that he didn’t feel
He’d never think, but just apologize
This wasn’t right, and he would soon surmise
Time to grow a pair, or stay askew
Time to be the man he wanted to

Just be nice, be a gentleman
It’s what you were taught way back then
Some might not deserve your time
Then he said out loud

I’ve learned all my lessons
I’ve made up my mind
Was it a blessing, or big waste of time?
Looking for answers
That I couldn’t find
The fault was all yours and it wasn’t mine
