[Intro]
Father, please
I don't want a silence war
I don't want you standing at my door
Opening the lock with your fingers, no
Father, please
I am but a child but oh
I have all my magazines in here
And my magazines will keep me company

[Verse 1]
Headmaster, sir
Didn't mean to strike a cord
Didn't mean to rattle at your lock
Opening my mouth when I'm not to, no
Oh, master, please
Please don't throw a tizzy, no
Nobody still thinks of you that way
Don't throw a tizzy now, you're too busy now

[Pre-Chorus]
As you yell your voice sounds funny
Vibrating through the fan
But don't worry, you still scare me
Just not as you planned
[Chorus]
So everything is wrong
You say "Settle down"
But I'm thinking I don't know where we'd even start
I opened up my heart
You caught me off guard
Tell me, why must everything feel so

[Verse 2]
Headmaster, sir
Didn't mean to cause a stir
I've been such a good girl this week
Such a good, good girl, such a good, good girl
And teacher, really?
Do I have to sit outside?
I was merely pulling at your leg
Now you look so sad, now you look so mad

[Pre-Chorus]
You say I say rain when you say
Everyone likes the sun best
But I truly like the darkness, 'least I did then

[Chorus]
So everything is wrong
You say "Settle down"
But I'm thinking I don't know where we'd even start
I opened up my heart
You caught me off guard
Tell me, why must everything feel so hard? Hard
Why must everything feel so hard? Hard, oh
[Bridge]
Do you feel like a man? Do you feel like a man?
Do you feel like a man now?
Do you feel like a man? Do you feel like a man?
Do you feel like a man now?

[Outro]
Everything made sense in here
Just being in the silence
Why'd you have to go and open up your mouth?
But I will never feel the fear
You'll never get me out of here
So try to make me, try to make me, try to make me
