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"
