i’ve been pretty weak
we both know that
you’ve seen me cry
so many times
well I’m here to say “no more”
i’m going to be stronger for you
i’m going to try my best
not to cry any more
i know you don’t think i’m tough
but i’ve taken a lot
a lot that would cause smoking or drinking
in so many others
to try to escape
but here i am
i’ve been taking life by the horns
sure before i let my emotions get the best of me
but not anymore
a big part of that
was self-pity
but i’ve been working on that
and have been winning
so babe you’re
gonna have a tough guy
by your side
who will focus more
on how wonderful
you truly are
than how bad
i used to decide i was
i’m going to be a tough guy
no matter what
but i’d like it best
if i was your tough guy.
