He likes to act like he's all grown up 
He wanted to grow up to be an actor 
But he never told anybody 
He likes to spill all of his guts 
On the top of a well stocked bar 
And then swallow them bit by bit by remembering every scar 
It's a valid reason for every drink 
And a new tattoo is a new reason to think 
 
He likes to pretend that he's all sewn up 
It makes for a much stronger case 
But there is blood underneath that skin 
That scar is not so easy to erase 
He walks with a glass cane now 
He's careful when holding his body up straight 
Can't go outside anymore when it's raining 
Can't smash up that beautiful face 
Another innocent girl just made his list 
That self pity shit is just too hard to resist 
 
Yeah when we get home you'll see 
that this part of him is now part of me

Yeah when we get home you'll see 
that this part of him is now part of me 
 
And its way too easy to fake this smile lead you on 
Maybe I'm wrong but everyone gets bored once in a while
