You can wait for the perfect moment
But I say we’re in it
And I’ll take all the punches
I'’m thrown if it’s what I should do
I want to be good
But saying I do doesn’t make it true

As if repeating my questions
And shrugging off suggestions
Ever got me far

Boys to the back and men to
The front of the room
And if you feel like you'’ve got
Something missing
You probably do
I know that acceptance comes first
And if I want to change than I’ve gotta work
Just cause I say I do doesn’t make it true

Courage is an acquired trait
So we’ve got to admit that
We appreciate gained strengths
But now we’re not nice to look at
I’ve always thought that I know
But saying I do doesn’t make it true

As if excusing my actions
And well timed nervous laughing
Ever got me far

My pride and I have sinned enough
For a lifetime
I’ll take him to the lake and I’ll drown him
Like I never found him
So I can apologize
I’ll fish him out when I know that it’s alright
And I can trust myself
To be applying him carefully
Why do I think I’m always right?
