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



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



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
