I'll Be Your Man - The Elected

You’ve got to learn to lie

To make everyone happy

And you’re going to have to cry

To make it on your own

But I can’t see you now, put down your hands

No, I can’t feel you now, give me your hands

Cause I’ve been waiting as long as I can stand

So if you ever need someone, I’ll be your man

Yeah, I’ll be your man

Yeah, I’ll be your man

You don’t have to go and die

To show people you’re hurting

And you’re going to have to try

Put out the fire if you’re burning

But I can’t see you now, put down your hands

No, I can’t feel you now, give me your hands

Cause we’ve been waiting as long as we can stand

And should you ever need anyone

I’ll be your man

Yeah, I’ll be your man

Yeah, I’ll be your man

Now, I read through your poetry

Yeah, every last one

Felt like I ate to much butter

And drank too much rum

Cause it made me feel sweet inside

Warm, proud, and young

I’ve been sick inside

And angry at everyone

And I wish I could touch you

If I wasn’t miles away

We could talk it all out

In your clean white place

Now I’ve done all the waiting I think I can stand

And I want you to know

Yeah, I want you to know

I want you to know

I think you’ve found your man

Yeah, I’ll be your man

Yeah, you’ve found your man

Come home to him.
