Sponge

[Verse 1]
I left my head at home
Buried in the backyard with the dog
I've thought of leaving more times than once
I'm leaving you all alone
I tried so hard to be the rock
But all I felt like was a wet sponge

[Pre-Chorus]
I want to run
I just can't
The things it takes to be a man

[Chorus]
I'm on a road
I'm not proud of the things I have done
Don't let my living bring you down
You'll never know
How much it hurts to nod when I'm the son
I'll never stand and watch you drown

[Verse 2]
I'm under a spell
This isn't what I want for us
We've held it all together this long
My spine's deep as well
My heart is bigger than you know
This family is just a sad song

[Pre-Chorus]
I want to run
I just can't
The things it takes to be a man

[Chorus]
I'm on a road
I'm not proud of the things I have done
Don't let my living bring you down
You'll never know
How much it hurts to nod when I'm the son
I'll never stand and watch you drown
