Lirik

What makes a grown man wanna cry?

(Cry, cry, cry, cry)

What makes him wanna take his life?

(Yeah)

His happiness is never real

(Real, real, real, real)

And mindless sex is how he feels, ooh, he heals

When it's time, when it's time, when it's time

It won't matter (it don't matter)

It won't matter (matter)

When it's time, when it's time, when it's time (time, it's time, babe)

It won't matter (it won't matter, babe)

It won't matter (ya)

It was like he was never there

(It was like he was never there)

It was like he was gone in thin air, oh

When it's time, when it's time, when it's time, oh, baby

It won't matter (It won't matter, baby)

It won't matter

When it's time, when it's time, when it's time

It won't matter

It won't matter

When it's time, when it's time, when it's time

It won't matter

It won't matter

It was like he was never there

It was like he was gone in thin air

When it's time, when it's time, when it's time

It won't matter, it won't matter

When it's time, when it's time, when it's time

It won't matter, it won't matter

When it's time, when it's time, when it's time

It won't matter, it won't matter

Ooh, now I know what love is

And I know it ain't you for sure

You'd rather something toxic

So, I poison myself again, again

'Til I feel nothing

In my soul (in my soul)

I'm on the edge of something breaking

I feel my mind is slowly fading

If I keep going, I won't make it

If I keep going, I won't make it

And it's all because of you

It's all because of you

It's all because of you

It's all because of you

Whoa, whoa

Don't you, baby, hey

It won't matter, baby

Don't you know?

Don't you know?

Oh, ooh, oh

Hey!
