I can't hide myself, I [F#] don't expect you to understand
I just [G#m] hope I can explain what it's [E] like to be a man
It's [B] a lonely road, and [F#] that okay about what you know
It's [G#m] not about how you feel, but what you [E] provide inside that home
[B] Yeah, I know this life can really beat [F#] you down
You wanna scream, but you won't make [G#m] a sound
Got so much weight that you been holding, [E] but won't show any emotion
As a man that goes unspoken, [B] that we can't cry when life gets hard
[F#] Unconditional love for women, children, and dogs
[G#m] We know that we just have to play our parts
And [E] don't nobody give a damn about our broken hearts
[B] Yeah, as a man we gotta pay for our way
[F#] Our only function is to work and [G#m] slave
There's no respect for you if you ain't paid
[E] You're disregarded as a human and you can't complain
[B] And if you ever make it up and actually reach that place
[F#] And find a woman that you love and give her your last name
[G#m] You'll feel the things that you provide is only why she stays
And [E] when you try to explain, you'll say
I [B] can't hide myself, I [F#] don't expect you to understand
I [G#m] just hope I can explain [E] what it's like to be a man
[B] It's a lonely road, [F#] and they don't care about what you know
[G#m] It's not about how you feel, but what [E] you provide inside that home
[B] Don't give up, keep fighting
As a man our sun [F#] is our horizon
And our father's actions play a role [G#m] and we end up like them
So they can't let us see them hurt
[E] Cause we'll embody what they do and start a generational curse
[B] No wonder most men are so depressed
All the things that they can't express
[F#] They go to war, get thrown on the shelf
Then go back to war with their mental health
[G#m] Then grab that bottle and ask for help
Try to pull themselves out of hell
[E] Then fall back down and then realize
That they gonna have to do with themselves
It's the circle of life as a man you provide
[F#] They don't know what you're worth till the day that you [E] die
And that's when they start crying
Then move on [F#] to a man to confide in
That's why we [B] feel we can't hide ourselves
[F#] We don't expect you to understand
[G#m] We just hope we can explain
[E] What it's like to be a [B] man
It's a lonely road
[F#] And you don't care about what we know
[G#m] It's not about how we feel
But what [E] we provide inside that home
