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 making you sick
You turn to the poison inside of your glass
But you swore you’d never end up like your dad
You’re at the end of your rope
And you’re sick and tired of being 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 ya through it?
You’re singin’ “ooh I got nothing to lose”
But ooh… Danny you do
