It just occurred to me, I must be blind
Why do I try so hard to keep my cool
When I'm about to lose my mind

There was a vision flashing by
Of a summer's day I spent with you
Of a child who never learned how to cry

When those around me fall in despair
I call upon my common sense
'Cause someone has to care

A sudden decision I can't explain
Though I've often tried to change the rules
The game remains the same for love

I've played the part so many times
It fits me like a glove
But I am a victim in the bitter end

I know you need me to be strong

I can pretend

You always need me to be a good man in a storm

It sometimes scares me, the further we go
Just how much we understand
And just how much we know

So whatever happened in our hearts
While making perfect sense of life
We still remain so far apart

You always want me to be a good man in a storm

Trying to fit the social norm and be a good man in a storm
Trying hard since I was born to be a good man in a storm
Trying to fit the social norm and be a good man in a storm
Trying hard since I was born to be a good man in a storm

It just occurred to me, I must be blind
Why do I try so hard to keep my cool
When I'm about to lose my mind
