Modern Man

[Verse 1]
You hope one day you'll watch me scream
I can’t be cool 'bout everything
You know my weakness, where to cling
I'm not prepared to let you in
I focused on myself this spring
Took time to fix my broken wings
You still assume the worst of me
My feelings don’t mean anything

[Chorus]
And how can I be a modern man
When you give as little as you can?
And you still have me holding back tears

[Verse 2]
I'm not some stupid Romeo
I pride myself that I'm a hoe
They watch me come, they watch me go
It's you I want and that they know
But I'm focused on mysеlf right now
To fix in-flight, what I lost in sound
You still assume the worst of me
My feelings don't mеan anything

[Chorus]
And how can I be a modern man
When you give as little as you can?
And you still have me holding back tears

[Interlude]
If we talk about love we gotta talk about boredom
I haven't seen your jeans since I last wore them
Can I trade it in and take time back?
It didn't have to get like that
Our eyes on other lovers saying we abhor them
And watch ’em close another door while we adore them
It didn’t have to get like this
No, no

[Chorus]
How can I be a modern man
When you give as little as you can?
And you still have me holding back tears
How can I be a modern man
When you give as little as you can?
And you still have me holding back tears
