I never liked baseball but I always ended up on the team
I wasn't drawn to the girls in the Sports Illustrated Magazine
And when push came to shove, I hid who I was
Under lock and key
I built a whole man I didn't understand
And people called him me
Push it down and play it safe
Get in line or get away
You did what you had to do to make it through the day
And now my life is a series of confrontations
Between my traits and the ones I was fakin
On my search for who I was meant to be
Who I was meant to be
I was in touch with my emotions but no one could ever know it but me
How could I ever be respected if somebody else perceives me as weak?
So when push came to shove, I lived in disgust
Under lock and key
I built a whole man I didn't understand
And people called him me
Push it down and play it safe
Get in line or get away
You did what you had to do to make it through the day
And now my life is a series of confrontations
Between my traits and the ones I was fakin
On my search for who I was meant to be
Who I was meant to be
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
You'll never know if you don't let go
You'll never know if you don't let go
Push it down and play it safe
Get in line or get away
You did what you had to do to make it through the day
And now my life is a series of confrontations
Between my traits and the ones I was fakin
On my search for who I was meant to be
Who I was meant to be
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
Who I was meant to be
