[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
