about

Though this track, on the surface, describes a frustrated perspective on dating, the real driving force behind the lyrics is the desire to keep trying; the refusal to give up in the face of overwhelming odds. In the end, I may not know what I'm doing, but owning up to that and trying anyway is a sign of hope, honesty, and strength.

lyrics

Too many cute guys with nothing to say.
They're dead in the eyes and sex on the brain.
They'll say they want love, but they'll run away.
They'll hold you close, but they never stay.

And therein lies the trouble with love & men.
And that is why I had to begin again.

And I'm staying right here, so that must mean I'm "Gay Man of the Year."

There's always a reason that they've gotta go.
They're moving away or I move to slow.
I give everything, but it's never enough.
Or maybe it's just that it's not what they want.

And therein lies the trouble with love & men.
And that is why I had to begin again.

And I'm staying right here, so that must mean I'm "Gay Man of the Year."

I don't know what the fuck I'm doing, but at least I'm man enough to admit it.

And I'm staying right here, so that must mean I'm "Gay Man of the Year."
