I can tell you what makes a man
You hold onto love as hard as you can
I can tell you don’t understand
You’ve always thought you were greater than

So

I’ll say goodbye
'Cause I'm sick of bending backwards
I don’t live up to your standards
I’ll say goodbye
‘Cause you think you know the answer. 
I don’t live up to your standards

This isn’t really how it has to go
You can love your life. I can live my own
But you hold me high when you sit me down
Telling yourself I'll come around

I’ll say goodbye
‘Cause I'm sick of bending backwards
I don’t live up to your standards
I’ll say goodbye
‘Cause you think you know the answer. 
I don’t live up to your standards

If we don’t take a risk, we lose the chance
If we don’t take a risk, we lose the chance

I’ll say goodbye
‘Cause I'm sick of bending backwards
I don’t live up to your standards
I’ll say goodbye
‘Cause you think you know the answer. 
I don’t live up to your standards

I can tell you what makes a man
You know when to sit and when to stand
