The Man I Need Him To Be
I try to make it work
But I just don’t understand
Why he can just step up and be a man
He says he’s got issues
That he’s trying to be better
But all I know is that my tears are getting wetter
I’m supposed to be sympathetic
For the demons he has to fight
But I’m the one crying alone at night
He leans on everyone
Pushing until they break
I stand on my own controlling my own fate
His life’s been hard
That’s what I’m told
But I felt that same pain when I was nine years old
From the same situation
We’ve taken different perspectives
It pushed our lives in such different directions
His soul fell
As mine began to shine
What’s wrong with him if I’m doing fine
Why is he so messed up
When the only thing wrong with me
Is him not being the man I need him to be
