Takeit Like a Man

You'd better wipe the tears from your eyes. You know that makes you seem weak. Put down don't you call her and tell her just how much she means. Don't confess that you stair at her photos and read her letters before you go to sleep. Or the you pretend that you kiss her good-night and she's still the girl of your dreams. "Take it like a man. Don't let your feelings show. Listen to your friends. Just let that girl go. Although there's only excrushiating pain, suck it up and take it like a man." When she walks right on by, show no emotion at all. Dn't let on how it's killing you to see her moving on. And when you see tat radient smile that you know you used to bring, don't jump and say you're sorry. Just act like she don't mean a thing. "Choris" And when you're lying all alone in your bed wishing she was there right next to you. Don't start feeling sorry for yourself because it was you who chose to... "CHORIS"
