	Story Behind the Song This is EXCLUSIVE! It's the only place you can get this song. This was our first recorded version of this song which took place as part of the 30 Seconds of Happiness sessions in late 2001. I've put it up on the site due to popular demand though it will be re-recorded at a later date to be included on a later release. Lyrics Take it like a Man The smell of your hair Is still on my pillow Your leaving was such a bitter pill to swallow Ch Oh why cant I? Oh why cant I? Oh why cant I just take it like a man? The plans that we made Are lying in tatters You look at me coldly Say As if it really matters So I went to a doctor He said Your mind needs to be even, Youve got to practise a special kind of breathin If I was John Wayne I could take it on the chin Ride off into the sunset with my jaw all set and grim but if I take it like a man do I stuff it down inside? build a retaining wall around my heart to hold back the tide? They say that boys dont cry And men dont faint And you gotta act tough Even when you think you aint So do I live my life in numbness Or let myself cry? Investigate my own heart Find out the reasons why Things always happen for the best And its all just a test to find a deeper meaning Love and strength thats never leaving So why would I? Oh how could I? Oh why should I wanna take it like a man?
