Lyrics Bayside – It Doesn’t Make It True
Text:
You can wait for the perfect moment
But I say we’re in it
And I’ll take all the punches I’m thrown
If it’s what I should do, do, do
But saying I do doesn’t make it true
As if repeating my questions
And shrugging off suggestions
Ever got me far
Boys to the back and men to the front of the room
And if you think that you’ve got something missing you probably do
I know that acceptance comes first
And if I want to change then I’ve got to work
Just cause I say I do, doesn’t make it true
Courage is an acquired trait
So we’ve got to admit that
We appreciate gained strengths
But now we’re not nice to look at
I’ve always thought that I knew
But saying I do, doesn’t make it true
As if excusing my actions
And well-timed nervous laughing
Ever got me far
Boys to the back and men to the front of the room
And if you think that you’ve got something missing you probably do
I know that acceptance comes first
And if I want to change then I’ve got to work
Just cause I say I do, doesn’t make it true
My pride and I have sinned enough for a lifetime
I’ll take him to the lake and I’ll drown him
So I can apologize
I’ll fish him out when I know that it’s alright
And I can trust myself
To be applying him carefully
Why do I think I’m always right?
As if excusing my actions
And well-timed nervous laughing
Ever got me far
No it never got me far
Boys to the back and men to the front of the room
And if you think that you’ve got something missing you probably do
I know that acceptance comes first
And if I want to change then I’ve got to work
Just cause I say I do, doesn’t make it true
