danny don't

You learned about anger too fast as a kid

Oh, and your father, he'd drink, then he'd hit

You've only been loved through manipulation

Now it's what you do, and you can't seem to change it

Didn't act like you loved her, but God knows you did

So much regret that it's making you sick

You turn to the poison inside of your glass

But you swore you'd never end up like your dad

You're at the end of your rope

And you're sick and tired of being alone

You can lie and say you don't want to

But man, you should cry like you know you want to

Sometimes a man can't quite say what the truth is

And man, I know you're goin' through it

But Danny, don't bite the bullet

You're not workin' to live

You're just livin' to work

It's a good distraction from all of the hurt

You don't wanna talk, and you don't wanna listen

Don't know why you're broken, so how could you fix it

At the end of your rope

And you're sick and tired of bein' alone

You can lie and say you don't want to

But Danny, just cry

Like you know, you want to

Sometimes a man can't quite say what the truth is

And man, I know you're goin' through it

But Danny, don't bite the bullet

Can I just talk ya through it?

You're singin', "Ooh, I got nothing to lose"

But ooh, Danny, you do
