[Verse 1]
On the hunt to feed all my little pains
Broke a branch and scared away the game
Still tracking this big buck through the rain
I try, but I cry to laugh

[Verse 2]
Well, I can't tell when I'm being tricked
Ain't it looking like the odds are being fixed?
Oh to be the prime suspect in all of this
I try, but I cry to laugh

[Chorus]
I tried believing that I could be your leading man
You just wanna do as you always have done, but you can't

[Verse 3]
Did I ever really need your help
To tell me something I already know about myself?
Or was this a joke that only time could tell?
I cry whenever I try to laugh

[Chorus]
I tried believing that I could be your leading man
You just wanna do as you always have done, but you can't
