It Doesn't Make It True

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] As if repeating my questions And shrugging off suggestions Ever got me far [Chorus] 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 then I’ve gotta work Just cause I say I do doesn’t make it true [Verse 2] 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 knew But saying I do, doesn't make it true [Pre-Chorus] As if excusing my actions And well-timed nervous laughing Ever got me far [Chorus] Boys to the back and men to the front of the room And if you think that you've got something missing You probably do I know that acceptance comes first And if I want to change then I've gotta work Just cause I say I do, doesn't make it true [Bridge] 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? [Pre-Chorus] As if excusing my actions And well-timed nervous laughing Ever got me far No it never got me far [Chorus] Boys to the back and men to the front of the room And if you think that you've got something missing You probably do I know that acceptance comes first And if I want to change then I've got to work Just cause I say I do, doesn't make it true
