here i am at these cross roads again 
wondering what will ever become of me 
now and then i'll take one on my own chin 
because i wear my heart up on my sleeve 
i fell in life and i've fell in love 
wondering makes me rise above 
so i sing..., let me know what's real... 
and i sing..., to teach me how to feel... 
there you stand, with your friend or man 
here i sit my back against the wall 
it begins to start sinking in 
it wasn't really worth it after all 
understand i must be man 
i've dedicated myself to this band 
and i sing..., let me know what's real... 
and i sing..., to teach me how to feel... 
when i'm thinking sober 
when the worst is over 
i will still be standing here 
all the things i've told her 
it's all on my shoulders 
now i'm seeing things so clear 
so i sing..., let me know what's real... 
and i sing..., to teach me how to feel... 
and i sing..., let me know what's real... 
and i sing..., to teach me how to feel...
