Song of the Male Narcissist

When I said that I would leave you 

I meant "Don't let me go" 

and instead of saying yes to you 

I said - I'll let you know 

I put myself above you 

so you'd think me some great prize 

and blamed my faults upon you 

all because of my false pride 

So I know you have good reason 

for complaining like you do 

because I never really thought of you 

just 'to mine own ego' was I true 

But the truth is I'm embarrassed 

for how badly I've behaved 

and for being such a coward 

I really am ashamed 

Cause I don't want you to guess 

how helpless that I feel 

and that I don't know how to save you 

even though my love is real 

There is so much I have to learn 

and if you're needing proof 

just look at how I twist and turn 

and struggle with the truth 

I cannot be your hero 

and I don't always understand 

and really I just want you to see 

the child within this man 

I'm so scared that you will leave me 

when you see my acts a sham 

and that I gave up long ago 

on being loved for who I am 

I need a guiding hand in life 

and need you to be strong 

I need you to be virtuous 

and let me tag along 

Set me goals I can accomplish 

and praise me where you can 

not for the act - just for the steps 

I take to become a man 

Cause I still have tantrums like a baby 

and think I must get my way 

and I don't know how to listen 

and I haven't learned to pray 

So love and please don't leave me 

and help me learn to get along, 

but stop crying and getting angry 

cause it's really you who's strong 

To make me feel bad won't change things 

cause I'm already wracked with shame. 

and sometimes you must say "no" for me 

and kindly say my name 

and if I'm being brutish 

you must make me face the law 

You must show concern with courage 

if you want my heart to thaw 

Cause I won't respect a victim 

and you won't beat me at that game 

and if you really want to tame me 

you can't be scared of public shame 

Cause it will take men with integrity 

that I squarely have to face 

you see I'm craving a strong father 

and you'll never take his place 

And I'm trying hard to trust you 

which I don't know how to do 

and I hope you can forgive me 

and I hope that we're not through 

SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS PLEASE....
