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 top of  a well-stocked bar
And then by swallow them bit-by-bit
Remembering every scar is 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's blood underneath that skin
That scars 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 its 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 top of  a well-stocked bar
And then by swallow them bit-by-bit
Remembering every scar is a valid reason
For stronger drinks 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
Yeah when we get home you'll see
That this part of him is controlling me
Yeah its way too easy to fake a smile lead you on
Well maybe I'm wrong but everyone gets bored once in a while
