I'm not a robot I compartmentalize Shove it deep deep down Try your best but you'll never catch it in my eyes You say you want a man's man No big emotional display Well, thanks my father, and his father, and his pops before I can smile while walk away You'll never see it on my face Though you've left our love to die And it's not that I don't care It's just I was programmed not to cry So, you can burn it to the ground Say every moment's been a lie I'm only what the world has taught me And I was programmed not to cry I don't need a life raft, I don't need a life vest Cause when you took a hard right I just made a hard left You want a big reaction your swimming pool eyes, wet But something I was not shown is something I cannot forget Or I won't allow If I lock up regret Then I can lock you out, I know how You'll never see it on my face Though you've left our love to die And it's not that I don't care It's just I was programmed not to cry So, you can burn it to the ground Say every moment's been a lie I'm only what the world has taught me And I was programmed not to cry Cause I might drown, drown drown If I let my guard down down But I can't drown drown drown If I don't know how I might drown, drown drown If I let my guard down down down But I can't drown drown drown If I don't know how (oh, I don't know how) In an ocean (of nothing) About to go under Or will I keep on treading right here till the day I die? If I could be open Can't help but wonder And I can't break this streak Can't let myself be weak You'll never see it on my face Though you left our love to die It's not that I don't care It's just I was programmed not to cry You can burn it to the ground Say every moment's been a lie I'm only what the world has taught me
