We are standing on the threshold
Of a decent conversation
When I can hear the door slam
I know the face you’re making
And I really wanna talk to you
I really, really wanted to
But once you get your mind made up
There is no getting through to you

And for a while, it was touching
For a while, it was challenging
Before it became typical
And now it really isn’t interesting
To see a grown man cry
To see a grown man cry

I’m lying on the sofa, and the radio is blaring
And I’m scanning through the stations
As the boys declare their feelings
But it doesn’t feel like feelings
It feels like they’re pretending
It’s like they just want blowjobs
And they know these songs will get them

And I really wanna talk to you
I really, really wanted to
But I have learned my lesson now
And you’re not the one I’m turning to
For a while, it was touching
For a while, it was challenging
Before it got habitual
And now it really isn’t interesting
To see a grown man cry
To see a grown man cry

I was the first to warn you
I lay myself before you
I was the first to warn you
I put myself before you
Oh, oh oh oh

We are standing on the corner
And you’re throwing down the gauntlet
It is not a life decision...
We just need to pick a restaurant
After all this, I should know you
Well enough not to get into it
I should learn, but I’m an idiot...
You only want an argument

For a while, it was touching
It was almost even comforting
Before it became typical
And now it really is not interesting
To see a grown man cry
To see a grown man cry
To see a grown man throw a temper fit
To see a grown man cross his arms and sit
As if the whole wide world would end
If he was not a part of it
But at the same time, with no confidence
Never realizing the consequence he’s having on the ones he loves
Because he thinks he makes no difference

We are standing on the threshold
Of a decent conversation
When I can hear the door slam
I know the face you’re making
And I really wanna talk to you
I really, really wanted to
But this time, I am giving up
I am simply giving up on you
