Modern Man

[Verse 1]

You hope one day you'll watch me scream

I can’t be cool 'bout everything

You know my weakness, where to cling

I'm not prepared to let you in

I focused on myself this spring

Took time to fix my broken wings

You still assume the worst of me

My feelings don’t mean anything

[Chorus]

And how can I be a modern man

When you give as little as you can?

And you still have me holding back tears

[Verse 2]

I'm not some stupid Romeo

I pride myself that I'm a hoe

They watch me come, they watch me go

It's you I want and that they know

But I'm focused on mysеlf right now

To fix in-flight, what I lost in sound

You still assume the worst of me

My feelings don't mеan anything

[Chorus]

And how can I be a modern man

When you give as little as you can?

And you still have me holding back tears

[Interlude]

If we talk about love we gotta talk about boredom

I haven't seen your jeans since I last wore them

Can I trade it in and take time back?

It didn't have to get like that

Our eyes on other lovers saying we abhor them

And watch ’em close another door while we adore them

It didn’t have to get like this

No, no

[Chorus]

How can I be a modern man

When you give as little as you can?

And you still have me holding back tears

How can I be a modern man

When you give as little as you can?

And you still have me holding back tears
