From the scrapes and bruises 
                    
To the familiar abuses  
                                                  
I'll kick and scream but it never changes anything 


                       
I could spill my guts out 
                               
Wearing my best little girl pout 
                     
And I almost missed it	
                                         
But nobody said that this was gonna be easy 


                 
This is not the man I hoped to be, and
           
I'm just trying to stop the bleeding 
              
I don't know how to word it 
         
I just started to deserve it 
                               
And all my, all my faces are alibis
             
And me, I'm half the man I wanted to be 


                               
Most times it all comes out wrong
                                      
I don't know the words but I'll hum along 
                                      
There's nothing familiar here anymore 
                                     
to anyone or anything left to feel alive 


                              
And I still taste that sickness 
                                        
And it makes me crazy without it at best 
                                        
But I'm in the same place I used to be 
                
But I'm trying harder not to be 


                 
This is not the man I hoped to be 
               
And I'm just trying to stop the bleeding 
   
I don't know how to word it 
         
I just started to deserve it 
                              
And all my, all my faces are alibis 
             
And me, I'm half the man I wanted to be 



                          
So what am I? What am I? So what am I? 


                                
And all my, all my faces are alibis 
                 
This is not the man I hoped to be 
         
And I'm just trying to stop the bleeding 
     
I don't know how the words go 
          
I just started not to say no 



Don't want it, Don't get it 
       
I know you won't regret it
 
Don't surface, Don't surface 
      
And I feel so damned worthless 
                                              
Another day is gone and all my faces are alibis 
                   
all my faces are alibis 

                                   
I'm half the man I wanted to be
