MAN DOWN Lyrics by Monto

IN NO HURRY TO SHOUT

2022

[Verse 1]
I won't try to dance around it
I don't have the time
I know it's been hard to count in
You don't have to lie
I'm better on the outside than in
If your heart still ain't skipping a beat
They'll never listen
I'll give them the air to breathe

[PreChorus]
It's on the nights that I've been fired up, you’re tired yeah
Don't think I'd ever make you see it like I would

[Chorus]
I used to be the man down, what's next
Tell my hometown I made it
Write my name on the checks
Whеn we go out I'm paying
For all the days I've spеnt
I'm getting far in my head
Why all the stressing? I know that I'm better

[Verse 2]
Always greener on the other side tell me but I know
I've gotten used to cutting ties
Used to be alone
And my momma told me every time people come and go
I'm tired of staying inside and fighting on my own
I thought about quitting twice, yeah ain't it nice
I hung em' thought you were right
So badly drained I ran away
All bottled up like lemonade
You're cold as ice, sharp like a knife
Said "not enough" but never tried at all
(At all, yeah)

[PreChorus]
Oh how I wish we could go there
Tell me what you want
And I bet you didn't know that we've been on and off
I know we're going nowhere, tell me what you want
You barely ever go back anymore

[Chorus]
I used to be the man down, what's next
Tell my hometown I made it
Write my name on the checks
When we go out I'm paying
For all the days I've spent
I'm getting far in my head
Why all the stressing? I know that I'm better
