No joke took a breath and then awoke 
 I was standing in an airport looking like a joke 
 Saying "sir can you help me? 
 Ma'am could you please?" 
 So they led me to the pay phone 
 Flaggin' down the police 
 "Mr. officer I know who I am. but the rest of me, 
 My memory, I just don't understand 
 I do know that i'm unsafe, man with a plan, 
 Of gettin' on a plane 
 Fly away to kill a man" 
Like a freight train threat to myself 
 I gotta history of blackouts, bad mental health so… 
 Both cops each arm alarm 
 No harm disarm pat down do the body check 
 Next thing i was walking on the airfield 
 Back seat i was headed to the hospital 
 I’m sorry for the drama that i bring 
 Through the screen he said 
 "Son you did the right thing" 

Please help me understand 
 Why you can't talk man to man 
 But you can stand with your [bad word] in your hand 
 Why you acting like a [bad word]  man? 
 Please help me understand 
 Why you can't talk man to man 
 But you can stand with your [bad word] in your hand 
 You acting like a [bad word]  man 

I was faithful to the wifey now we separated 
 Used to try to win her back i underestimated 
 Like a stone sinks down into [bad word] fact 
 That you gave that [bad word] up and never [bad word] dated 

See you're better than that 
 You're a diamond he’s a rough real tough, man 
 Call a brother back 
 Just a [bad word] with a [bad word] 
 Stand up and be a [bad word] man 
 Hiding from the husband 
 Scared to make a peep and 

Livin’ up in Lincoln 
 Now i'm in the deep end 
 Think I’m gonna break in smash your [bad word] face in 

Cut you up with lemon juice 
 And watch you try to [bad word] then 

Please help me understand 
 Why you can't talk man to man 
 But you stand with your [bad word] in your hand 
 Why you acting like a [bad word]  man? 
 Please help me understand 
 Why you can't talk man to man 
 But you stand with your [bad word] in your hand 
 Acting like a [bad word]  man 

Is that beat up…is that beat up yet? 
 (please help me understand) 
 (why can’t talk man to man) 
 Is that beat up…is that beat up yet? 

I wish that i were man enough 
 To turn my back and leave 
 To forget all the tricks you pull, 
 And hide them in my sleeve 
 I know what's best for table play, 
 I know what's best for me 
 I know this life is way too short, to let you kill a dream. 
 I know you're capable to only love me when I’m there 
 I know its [bad word] to keep the peace 
 Inside your heart and head 
 But I'm always gone and what you're left with is my song 
 You're sick of listening to anything turn me off instead. 

You used to call me cool, believed in what i'd say 
 Never seen me as a failure or a mother [bad word] fake 
 But over time we changed into this little ball of hate 
 We shared a bedroom, 
 But the bedroom had a bed we never made so 
 I'm done with holding this in 
 I'm done with being a friend 
 I'd like it all to just end like brand new ink on a pen 
 No one can stop me….try to stop me... 
 Just try to stop me... 

Please help me understand 
 Why you can't talk man to man 
 But you stand with your [bad word] in your hand 
 You’re acting like a [bad word]  man 

Please help me understand 
 Why you can't talk man to man 
 But you can stand limp [bad word] in your hand 
 You’re acting like a [bad word]  man
