standing trying to be a man
First thing I remember was
Being told I was too young to understand
But I remember wanting to know the things I didn’t know
Time and tears came and went away,
As there were many things I didn’t know or understand
I didn’t ask for shelter I asked because I wanted to know
So now I still remember that young boy
Being told that someday I’ll understand
Back then I didn’t know so I didn’t grow
Looking back now as a man I’m here
To tell you that day will never come
I see still me standing trying to be a man
I grew not growing a spine a thorn in my side
I think it was September the year I lost my way
As there weren’t many things I could understand
I still see myself standing holding on just simply
Trying to be a man boy thinking I was strong
Back then no-one took my hand
As a boy i had to be a man and i collected dust
Time and tears rolled on by
Chastise by rust, just waiting for the day
That same day that never comes
I broke like a little toy as a man
And still i don’t understand, simply
Why i couldn’t know
When that someday never ever comes
What was going on
I lost many a year to darkness
Nearly a life and love
Cos there were many things I couldn’t know
No-one back then took my hand
All I heard was someday ill understand
But that someday never ever comes
I tried to be that man to understand, but it stole
Everything from me
And i lived under the sky with no sun
Along the month of September i lost memories
And my plan,
I’m here to tell each and everyone
That, the supposed someday never ever comes
Don’t try and be a man no matter what they say
As I still see me trying be a man
And all it did was steal my life from when i was young
My mind cracked and any day never ever comes
Leaving me lost hoping for the sun
Someday will never ever come
Someday never comes
