Mother

I try to always be a gentleman I try to always be a better friend Lately I've been feeling half a man Like maybe I should be more who I am Maybe I should fuck something up good Or maybe I should act like someone bad I try to live my life like David does But something always feels just slightly off I'm young and maybe that's why days to me They seem like opportunities to test my reach Adopt some ugly habits that are bad for me And treat some others not so equally If I thought I knew me well it's clear as can be That things are gonna change like a hundred degrees If I thought I knew me well it's plain to see That things are gonna change like a hundred degrees Don't tell my mother Don't tell my mother Don't tell my mother 'til I pull myself together It's undercover I hope forever Don't tell my mother 'til I pull myself together I think it's me But I just need to see If this real or just something that I need Don't tell my mother Don't tell my mother Don't tell my mother 'til I pull myself together Try to always do what people like And try to be a man that someone might Look up to in a minute when they're feeling down Like maybe I could be somebody that you love Or maybe I'll just keep thinking all about me Until I get the proper opportunity that I need Maybe I'll just keep thinking all of myself Until I find a way to be in love with somebody else Maybe I'll just keep thinking all about me Until I get the proper opportunity that I need Don't tell my mother --- Mother - Said the Whale
