She broke my heart So I cried in my car so desperate for help But I would not ask I'm an Alpha Male Yes that is me I have tattoos and drink Whiskey I fight sometimes And stand up to *** Days went by My wrist scabbed over I pretended to be happy so my friends wouldn't see I'd go to bars but go home before too many I didn't want my guard down For them to see me vulnerable I'm an Alpha Male Yes that is me I have tattoos and drink Whiskey I fight sometimes And stand up to *** One night I lay awake bathing in tears She was the only one I had talked to What if she told people I'm not the man I seemed And she told people of my own fragility How I felt alone and like I wasn't good enough How I hated myself and the emotions that controlled I'm an Alpha Male Yes that is me I have tattoos and drink Whiskey I fight sometimes And stand up to *** Well it was boiling over I wanted it to end life is not worth it I didn't want to go on I thought of my mother she'd never be the same I thought about my father losing his oldest son I thought of my brothers without a role model I thought of my friends and the loneliness they'd feel I picked up the phone and I called my best friend He answered the phone And I just broke down I'm an Alpha Male Yes that is me I get overwhelmed sometimes and can feel quite lonely I need help my dearest friends I'm much more fragile than what you see

So Manly
You see I didn't love her Because she made me happy I loved her because she made me Irate Annoyed Elated Adventurous Exhilarated Impassioned And everything in between I loved her because she made me REAL

Reality
I love the way she sleeps And I can tell when she dreams I wonder what she dreams about Does she dream of Paris and Rose? Does she dream of movie nights in her favorite hoodie? Does she ever dream of me? Or Does she dream of other things? Does she dream of other guys? Does she dream of better than me? Does she dream of freedom? Because she feels tied down to me? Does she dream I'm not good enough for her? As I've long suspected to be true Does she dream of leaving me? Does she dream of cheap hookups and thrills? She told me I was crazy, she didn't dream of abandoning me But she did.

Her Dream My Nightmare
You were right She broke my heart and now I'm broken But you're wrong I don't wish I never met her Because those moments looking in her hazel eyes make this pain worth every single second

So What
When I quit smoking I always wanted a cig I would crave one with every bone in my body And then one day I just didn't anymore I hope I have as much luck getting over you

You and Cigarettes
I love my bed Nobody can hurt me here I'll bundle in blankets and watch movies of love that I'll never have and I don't have to put up walls because they're already around me and I might not feel good but at least I don't feel bad

Covers
I'm fine without you I leave bed a little bit less I'm always tired and my room is a mess but I'm fine without you Sometimes I cry for no reason and I'll blame it on mood swings or the change of season but I'm fine without you although I think of you all day wondering why you left and hoping you're okay but I'm fine without you My friends have concern they say I've lost it and I'm letting my life burn but I'm fine without you the rare occasions I'm in my car I don't wear a seatbelt and I'm headed to the bar but I'm fine without you I really swear that it's true I guess I'm spiraling out of control but it's not because of you...

For you I would wait 1000 years even if I died in 100

Patience
I try so hard to make others proud of me because I think that's the only way I can be proud of myself
