It Doesn't Make It True - Bayside

We can wait for the perfect moment

But I say we’re in it

And I’ll take all the punches I’m thrown

If it’s what I should do, do, do

I want to be good

But saying I do doesn’t make it true

As if repeating my questions

And shrugging off suggestions

Ever got me far

Boys to the back and men to the front of the room

And if you think that you’ve got something missing

You probably do

I know that acceptance comes first

And if I want to change then I’ve got to work

Just cause I say I do, doesn’t make it true

Courage is an acquired trait

So we’ve got to admit that

We appreciate gained strengths

But now we’re not nice to look at

I’ve always though that I do

But saying I do, doesn’t make it true

As if excusing my actions

And well-timed nervous laughing

Ever got me far

Boys to the back and men to the front of the room

And if you think that you’ve got something missing

You probably do

I know that acceptance comes first

And if I want to change then I’ve got to work

Just cause I say I do, doesn’t make it true

My problem: sinned enough for a lifetime

Take him to the lake it’ll drown him

Like I never found him

So I can’t apologize

Especially not when I know that it’s alright

I can trust myself

To be playin' em carefully

Why do I think I’m always right?

As if excusing my actions

And well-timed nervous laughing

Ever got me far

No it never got me far

Boys to the back and men to the front of the room

And if you think that you’ve got something missing

You probably do

I know that acceptance comes first

And if I want to change then I’ve got to work

Just cause I say I do, doesn’t make it true
