danny don't

You learned about anger too fast as a kid
Oh, and your father, he'd drink then he'd hit
You've only been loved through manipulation
Now it's what you do and you can't seem to change it

Didn't act like you loved her, but God knows you did
So much regret that it's makin' you sick
You turn to the poison inside of your glass
But you swore you'd never end up like your dad

At the end of your rope
And you're sick and tired of bein' alone

You can lie and say you don't want to
But, man, you should cry like you know you want to
Sometimes a man can't quite say what the truth is
And, man, I know you're goin' through it
But, Danny, don't bite the bullet

You're not workin' to live, you're just livin' to work
It's a good distraction from all of the hurt
You don't wanna talk, and you don't wanna listen
Don't know why you're broken, so how could you fix it?

At the end of your rope
And you're sick and tired of bein' alone

You can lie and say you don't want to
But Danny, just cry like you know you want to
Sometimes a man can't quite say what the truth is
And, man, I know you're goin' through it
But, Danny, don't bite the bullet
Can I just talk you through it?

You're singin', "Ooh"
You got nothin' to lose
But, ooh
Danny, you do
